During the holidays, you may hear the familiar “I’m hungry” just a few minutes after you have fed your kids. We have good news, though, growing kids can be shown how to make this dish quickly and easily. If you pre-prepare a green salad or some raw veggies to go with it, your kids are good to go!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Macaroni
- 1/2 cup Water
- pinch of Salt
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup grated Cheddar Cheese
- Optional Extras: Diced Vegetables, Cooked Bacon, Chilli Powder, Garlic & Herbs, Your Favourite Spices
Directions
- Combine Macaroni, Water, and Salt in microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave Macaroni for 2 Minutes and, then, remove and stir.
- Repeat until Macaroni is cooked (4 – 8 minutes). You can add 2 tablespoons of extra water if needed.
- Stir in Milk and Cheddar Cheese (and any extras you have selected). The starch in the water will help to thicken the ‘sauce’.
- Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until cheese is melted.
Tip
Allergy-friendly options: We use gluten-free pasta. Most supermarkets carry a gluten-free range nowadays, which is amazing! If you have a milk allergy, you can also use milk-free alternatives.
