A simple, healthy take on classic mac and cheese that cooks in one pot and tastes great.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups water or broth
  • 8 oz pasta of choice
  • 810 oz broccoli, finely chopped
  • 2 cups shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek-style yogurt
  • 1 tbsp butter or ghee (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring whole milk and water/broth to a boil, then add pasta. Reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes

Use broth instead of water for richer flavor. Stir often to prevent sticking and add cheese off heat to avoid graininess.
