Ingredients
- 1 cup red lentils, rinsed* well
- 1 lbs (454 gr) dried macaroni noodles
- 5 cups low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp salt (less if the broth used isn't low sodium)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, old/aged or medium
- 1 1/2 cups (approx. 175 gr) grated mozzarella or jack cheese**
- 1/2 cup (approx. 30 gr) parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
Notes
- * red lentils tend to stick together when simple rinsed under running water. Use a bowl and swish lentils around in cold water, drain and repeat until water runs clear. Around 3-5 times.
- ** mozzarella cheese will result in a more "cheesy" (the cheese will have more pull) appearance than jack cheese will. The flavour is about the same however.
