INGREDIENTS
4 cups
fresh or frozen broccoli florets, steamed and chopped smaller if they're in large pieces
3 cups
dry whole wheat elbow macaroni (Barilla brand is my fave!)
3 1/2 cups
water
16 oz
frozen cauliflower (or 4 cups of roughly chopped fresh cauliflower)
1 1/4 cups
low sodium chicken broth (1/2 cup only if using fresh cauliflower)
2/3 cup
shredded Monterey jack cheese (freshly shredded is best for both cheeses, but you can also use pre-shredded)
2 cups
shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tsp
salt (start with 1/8th of a teaspoon and add another if necessary
optional: some black pepper if you like!
