Instructions
- Prepare both boxes of Cheesy Mac according to package instructions.
- Meanwhile, melt additional 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrots to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add zucchini, bell pepper, tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring, about 1-2 more minutes, or until tender.
- Add the prepared mac and cheese to the skillet with the vegetables and toss to combine. Add the frozen peas to the hot skillet and stir until warmed through (about 1 minute). Garnish with fresh basil and shredded cheese, if desired.
Notes
- Cooking for a smaller family? You can easily cut all of the ingredients in half (using just one box of Cheesy Mac), and prepare according to the instructions above.
- Want to Prep Ahead? For even speedier last-minute prep, I like to chop all of the vegetables in advance and keep them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When it's time to make dinner, the prep work is already done!
