Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box dreamfields pasta
  • 6 slices turkey bacon
  • 3 T butter
  • 2 T baking blend
  • 2 c. almond milk
  • 1 c. cheddar cheese + a handful more
  • 1 c. mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ c. parmesan cheese from the green can
  • 1 tsp. Paprika and
  • 1 T. garlic salt
  • 2 cups frozen broccoli
  • Optional: 2 c. cooked diced chicken

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Cook pasta according to directions on the box
  3. Bake bacon at 375 for 8 minutes
  4. Steam broccoli. I simply steam mine by putting it in a microwavable bowl, covering the bowl with a wet paper towel and nuking it for 5 minutes. I then take it out, stir it and nuke it for another 2 minutes.
  5. Make the cheese sauce. Make a roux by combining the baking blend and butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Slowly add in the almond milk, 1 c cheddar cheese, & mozarella cheese continually stirring with a silicon whisk until well combined. Add in paprika and garlic salt.
  6. Mix bacon, broccoli, chicken (if using) and pasta w/ cheese sauce in 9 x 13 pan
  7. Sprinkle with ¼ c. parm cheese and a handful of cheddar cheese
  8. Bake for 10 minutes
