Ingredients
- 1 box oz. whole wheat macaroni cooked
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour + 2 tsp
- 1 1/2 cups milk whole
- 1.5 cups cheese shredded
- 1.5 cups spinach frozen, chopped
- pinch Turmeric
- 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and lightly mist a cupcake pan with cooking spray, set aside.
- Boil water for pasta if you have not precooked it. While pasta is cooking, make the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Then add in the flour and whisk until thick. Gradually stir in the milk until sauce begins to thicken. Then add spices and bring to a slight boil. Immediately add in the shredded cheese and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
- Once pasta is cooked, place in a large bowl and add in the cheese mixture and thawed spinach. Stir to combine and then spoon the mixture into the prepared cupcake pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes and let cool for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
- Optional: may top with bread crumbs prior to baking and garnish with Parmesan cheese and red pepper chili flakes.
Notes
- Can make with lentil noodles or gluten free pasta if you are gluten free/sensitive.
