Healthy Mac and Cheese in one pot in 15 minutes. Creamy, cheesy and flavorful and as healthy as it gets. No weird ingredients because life is short, friends.

Healthy Mac and Cheese {One Pot - 15 Minutes}

whole wheat elbow macaroni (uncooked)

broth

milk

butter

garlic powder

mustard (condiment)

black pepper (to taste)

marble or cheddar cheese (shredded)

Parmesan cheese (shredded)

In a medium pot, add broth, milk, butter, garlic powder, mustard, salt, ground black pepper and bring to a boil.

Add elbow macaroni and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente or desired firmness and adding more milk or broth if you wish.

Turn off heat. Add marble cheese and Parmesan cheese in portions and stir between each until melted. That's it.

Serve immediately as mac and cheese tastes best fresh. Saucy, creamy and so comforting!

Top with your favorite hot sauce, everything bagel, Montreal steak spice, paprika, nutmeg, soy sauce and even honey. Or with leftover chopped bacon. I like to bake mine at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes. Way less mess.

Quick vegetable pasta 

150 grams/5 ounces whole wheat pasta,

tbsp extra virgin olive oil

yellow pepper, deseeded and

courgette,

cherry tomatoes

¼ tsp dried chilli flakes

½ small lemon, finely grated zest and juice

Featuring 10 core ingredients, this creamy vegan pasta is a total umami bomb. Loaded with tons of cooked down cremini mushrooms, savoury miso and Tamari, shallots, and garlic. This lush vegan dinner is ready in under 1 hour.

Creamy Vegan Pasta with Mushrooms & Miso

½ lbs (680 grams) cremini mushrooms

shallot, fine dice ((about ¾ cup diced shallot))

thyme leaves, minced

garlic,

sea salt and ground black pepper,

sherry vinegar

Tamari

light miso

unsweetened non-dairy creamer ((see notes))

¾ lb (340 grams) short pasta of choice

flat leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Start the duxelles. Finely chop the mushrooms with a food processor in 3 batches. You want the pieces to be the size of small peas. You can also do this by hand with a chef’s knife if you like.

Heat a large skillet or braiser over medium heat. Once hot, pour in the olive oil and swirl it around. Add the shallots, thyme, and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Add the mushrooms all at once and season with pepper. Cook the mushrooms on medium high, stirring often, until they start to release liquid. Then, lower the heat to medium. Continue to cook and stir often until the mushrooms dry out a bit, darken, and become paste-like, about 18-20 minutes.

Once the duxelles is a bit more dry, add the sherry vinegar and Tamari. Cook until the liquid evaporates and then season with salt.

Place the miso in a small bowl and add a bit of your hottest tap water to it. Use a spoon or small whisk to “dissolve” the miso in the water. Add this mixture to the skillet with the duxelles. Then, add the non-dairy creamer and stir to combine. You should have a thick, lush sauce with bits of mushroom all throughout. Place a lid on top and keep warm.

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of pasta cooking water.

Add the drained pasta to the sauce and stir. Splash in reserved pasta cooking water as necessary to get a velvety and saucy texture. Stir in the chopped parsley. Check the pasta for seasoning and adjust if necessary (more vinegar, Tamari, salt, pepper etc)

Serve the pasta hot and enjoy!

A rich and creamy pasta dish featuring tender chicken, ricotta cheese, and Parmesan in a silky sauce. The addition of whole wheat pasta and fresh spinach or kale brings both flavor and texture, making it a wholesome and satisfying meal.

Creamy Ricotta Chicken Pasta: A Velvety, Flavorful Delight

oz whole wheat pasta (penne or Tortiglioni)

lb chicken breast,

ricotta cheese

Parmesan cheese

chicken broth or pasta cooking water

heavy cream (optional

Italian seasoning

tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and black pepper,

spinach

basil

Cook the Pasta:Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Cook the Chicken:Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Ricotta Cream Sauce:In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Lower the heat to medium-low and add ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, chicken broth, and heavy cream (if using). Stir until smooth. Add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Combine Pasta, Chicken, and Sauce:Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce. Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

Add Greens (Optional):Stir in fresh spinach or kale and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve:Plate the pasta, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top.
