Hello Foodies!
Macaroni is a nice, light and healthy breakfast cooked with elbow pasta lots of veggies and some spices. It’s like a easy version of pasta with no sauces and only veggies. Obviously one can choose to make it cheesier and spicier by adding different flavours but I like to keep it simple.
For those who are relating it to mac and cheese, it’s definitely not that. You can play around in many ways with this recipe; add the veggies of your choice, give it an Italian flavour using seasonings and olive oil. Whatever suits you the best. Also, I prefer using the semolina based elbow pasta which makes it a real healthy breakfast.
Let’s see how we make it.
