Helpful Tips to make Cheese Lovers Mac and Cheese with Broccoli:
- Pre-shredded cheeses have additives to help keep the cheese from sticking together, called anti-caking agents. They also change the way the cheese melts and will cause thickening of your recipes. Skip the pre-shredded cheese and grate your own. I store it in a zip-top bag in the fridge and it keeps for several weeks.
What you will need to make Cheese Lovers Mac and Cheese with Broccoli:
- A large skillet with a lid – To help the pasta cook evenly, a wide skillet works best, ideally one that’s more than 12 inches in diameter.
- Heat resistant spoon or spatula – Ideal for cooking, stirring, and serving.
Enjoy!
