Mac and Cheese



Ingredients

Macaroni shells 2 cups( any Shape)
Cheddar cheese 1 cup
Carrots  1 cup grated
Zukini  1 cup grated
Celery  1 cup finely chopped
Water
Salt and pepper
Butter 2 tbsp
Milk 2 cups
Cooking oil 1 spoon
Bread crumbs
Parmesean cheese

Procedure

Bring water to boil in a pot and generously salt it. Now add the macaroni and a teaspoon of cooking oil and cook for about 10 minutes until done.(Do not over cook). Drain the water out and set aside.

In another pan heat the butter and fry up the vegetables. You can add any kind of vegetables you have in handy. Salt and pepper the veggies and cook covered until they are tender. Now add the macaroni and milk to the veggies. Simmer for a few minutes to reduce the liquids. Now add the fresh grated cheddar cheese or the powdered cheese (the one u get in most of the mac and cheese dinner packs) and cook till the cheese melts and serve.. If u like a lil' crunch on your mac and cheese, move it into any baking dish u have and top it with lots of cheese (parmesean or any other cheese u like or have) and bread crumbs. Preheat the oven at 400 degrees and cook for about 10 minutes or until the top of the dish is brown and bubbly.
