  • Author: Lina Carter
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 oz elbow macaroni
– 2 cups vegetable broth
– 1 cup whole milk or a plant-based alternative
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup broccoli florets
– 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

Creating this delightful One Pot Veggie Mac and Cheese can be hassle-free if you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add Veggies: Sauté the broccoli and bell peppers for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the elbow macaroni, vegetable broth, and milk to the pot. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat until it reaches a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the macaroni is al dente.
5. Stir in Cheese: Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from heat and stir in both the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted and creamy.
6. Add Peas: Fold in the frozen peas until heated through, about 2 more minutes.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of additional milk until desired consistency is achieved.
8. Serve: Enjoy immediately or let it cool slightly before serving.
