My husband made us a delicious & (mostly) healthy 

mac and cheese dinner.

You can customize the ingredients to your liking,

but I will admit, this was a stellar combination!

Ingredients:

2 packages of fusilli pasta

1 package of quattro fromaggio cheese blend

1 jar of Alfredo sauce

1 cup broccoli chopped

1 cup asparagus chopped

2 red bell peppers cut into thing strips

1 package of turkey bacon (nitrate free)

Panko breadcrumbs

Directions:

- preheat oven to 350

- cook pasta according to package directions

- cook vegetables in a skillet until just done (do not over cook)

- cut the turkey bacon into little cubes and cook until crispy

- when the pasta is ready, while still in the pot, 

stir in Alfredo sauce, veggies, 

bacon, and half the bag of cheese.

- pour mixture into an oven safe dish

(it fits perfectly in a 9x13 cake pan)

- cover the top with the rest of the cheese

-  sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of cheese

- place in over and bake for about 15 minutes

or until cheese is melted and breadcrumbs are toasted

serve warm!
