Happy National Macaroni & Cheese Day, everyone!
In honor, here are some delicious, plant-powered mix-in ideas for your mac, to elevate an already tasty meal into something more:
Kale, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Pine Nuts
Inspired by: Lentil Mac and Cheese with Kale, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Pine Nuts, Fit and Frugal for Ancient Harvest (pictured)
This combination of fresh leafy greens, chewy dried tomatoes and crunchy pine nuts adds some Italian flair and a fantastic combination of textures. We also love the recipe’s addition of cayenne pepper and smoked paprika for a bit of spice.
Broccoli, Basil and Butternut Squash
With its creamy texture and mildly sweet flavor, butternut squash is a perfect addition to mac and cheese. Broccoli is also no stranger to the savory dish, but what if you combine both – and, what’s more, add some fresh basil to the mix? You’ll have a fragrant and flavorful bowl full of goodness, that’s what.
Mozzarella and Cherry Tomatoes
Caprese Salad is one of those ubiquitous summer treats that people wait all year long for – but, let’s be honest, it’s not the heartiest of meals. Add some fresh sliced cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and basil to Supergrain Mac & Cheese, though, and you’ve got a delicious, seasonal and filling dish.
Every Veggie You Can Think Of
Inspired by: Harvest Veggie Skillet Mac & Cheese, Fit and Frugal for AncientHarvest.com
From crunchy carrots to red bell pepper to leafy green Brussels sprouts, this version of mac is as colorful as it is delicious – and it’s easy to customize, according to what produce you have on hand. Got some fresh spinach to use up, or maybe cauliflower florets? Go ahead and throw those in.
