This recipe makes enough for 4 small kids. Double for a family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole grain elbow pasta
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cracks of fresh pepper
  • 1 teaspoon mustard (any kind)
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated extra sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Instructions

  1. Combine the pasta, broth, milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper and mustard in a skillet and bring to a boil.
  2. Turn heat to low and simmer for about 12-15 minutes, until all liquid has been absorbed. If the liquid is nearly gone but your noodles aren’t tender, add 1/4 cup of water.
  3. Once the noodles are soft and the liquid has soaked in, add the cheese and stir. (I like freshly grated because it has more flavor than the bagged kind.)
  4. Add the peas at the last second. They’re a great tool for adding a little nutrition (and color) but they also cool the dish down fast!
