BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH BROCCOLI
This casserole-like dish hits the spot when you're in the mood for a hearty pasta recipe. It takes just about an hour to make, 20 to 25 minutes of which is hands-off baking time, but you'll really love the end result after this little bit of extra effort if you want to impress your family and/or guests. It features an insanely savory combination of broccoli florets, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, skim milk, diced onions, Mexican-style shredded cheese, and Dijon mustard. Be sure that you serve it right away for the best flavor and texture. Try this recipe with cauliflower, kale, or Brussels sprouts instead of broccoli if you're looking for a different take.
