    Not only is this ultra-creamy version of mac-and-cheese nearly as fast as the boxed variety, but your family will be able to pronounce every ingredient. If they aren't broccoli fans, substitute a frozen vegetable of your choice.

    Servings: 4 servings, 1 1/4 cups each
    Total Time: 25 minutes
    Ease of Preparation: Easy
    Health: High Fiber, Low Cholesterol, High Calcium


    Ingredients:

    No-Bake Macaroni & Cheese
    8 ounces whole-wheat elbow noodles (2 cups)
    1 10-ounce package frozen chopped broccoli
    1 3/4 cups low-fat milk , divided
    3 tablespoons flour
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
    3/4 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
    1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard


    Steps:


    1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta for 4 minutes. Add frozen broccoli and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the pasta and broccoli are just tender, 4 to 5 minutes more.

    2: Meanwhile, heat 1 1/2 cups milk in another large pot over medium-high heat until just simmering. Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup milk, flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl until combined. Add the flour mixture to the simmering milk; return to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in Cheddar, Parmesan and mustard until the cheese is melted.

    3: Drain the pasta and broccoli and add to the cheese sauce. Return to the heat and cook, stirring, over medium-low heat, until heated through, about 1 minute.
