February 12, 2011

Tonights dinner consisted of homemade Mac n Cheese and for an added twisted I made it primavera it was good and the kids picked out all the vegetables out of the bowl and ate them all so now all thats left for leftovers is Mac n Cheese w/o vegetables.

Macaroni and Cheese Primavera
1 lb. extra large elbow macaroni noodles
1 lb. velvetta cheese
1 package frozen california medley vegetables
1/2 C. milk
2 Tbl Butter or margarine
2-3 Tbl salt
salt and pepper to taste

In a stock pot boil water add 2-3 Tbl salt to water to season pasta water.  Once water is boiling add pasta and cook til al dente (slight bite to pasta left).  Drain pasta once drained add back into pot and add milk, butter, cheese, and vegetables.  Cook over med. low heat stirring often.  Once all cheese is melted season with salt and pepper.  If you want an even richer, creamier you can use evaporated milk instead of regular milk.
