Macaroni and Cheese (With Vegetables)

You will need:
1 cup elbow pasta or smaller pasta
4 slices American Cheese
3 tablespoons Vegetable Puree
Milk
Steamed soft Broccoli (Optional)

Using a fortified pasta (or if you have a smaller child a small pasta such as alphabet), cook 1 cup according to directions of that pasta. In a separate pot add a total of 3 tablespoons of purees. We typically use green veggies black beans, and/or carrots. Add four slices of american cheese. Stir mixture until it is well blended. Add milk as needed to thin out slightly (About 2 Tablespoons). Add this mixture to cooked pasta and serve. This should make about 2 servings. With a child that can eat bigger pieces add some soft steamed broccoli florets to the top of the mac and cheese.

**note** You may find that your sauce is either too much or too little for the amount of pasta you have cooked. The sauce will vary with the size of pasta used. To increase add another tablespoon of puree.
