• 1 ½ cups fresh cow’s milk
• 7 ounces boiled condensed milk
• 7 ounces sour cream

Method of Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

1. Peel the tangerines and cut two of them in half. Slice the remaining tangerines.
2. Peel the kiwis, cut them in half, and slice into half circles.
3. Wash the persimmon, peel it, remove the core, and cut into pieces.
4. Peel the grapefruit, remove the segments’ skin, and cut into pieces.

Hidden Veggie Mac & Cheese: A Creamy, Nutritious Twist on a Classic Comfort Food

Ingredients

For 6 generous servings:

For the Pasta:

• 2 cups (200g) elbow macaroni or pasta of choice
• 1 cup (100g) cauliflower florets
• 1 cup (140g) butternut squash, diced
• 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup (60g) cream cheese
• 1 cup (240ml) milk or dairy-free alternative
• 2 tbsp (30g) butter
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Ingredients

Before starting, I always ensure all ingredients are measured and ready. This makes the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable. Cut the butternut squash into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.

2. Cook the Pasta

I bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Adding the pasta to properly salted water is crucial for flavor development. Cook the pasta until it’s just shy of al dente – about 1 minute less than the package instructions suggest. This prevents overcooking when we combine it with the sauce later.

3. Steam the Vegetables

While the pasta cooks, I steam the cauliflower and butternut squash. Place them in a steamer basket over simmering water, cover, and steam for 10-12 minutes. They should be fork-tender but not mushy. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect sauce consistency.

Healthy Vegetable Fritters: A Daily Delight

4. Create the Vegetable Base

Transfer the steamed vegetables to a high-powered blender. Add the milk, cream cheese, garlic powder, and butter. Blend until completely smooth, usually about 1-2 minutes. The mixture should be velvety with no visible vegetable pieces.

5. Make the Cheese Sauce

Pour the vegetable mixture into a large pot over medium heat. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly. This gradual addition prevents the sauce from becoming grainy. Continue stirring until all cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

6. Combine and Finish

Fold the cooked pasta into the cheese sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Expert Tips

• For the best texture, grate your own cheese rather than using pre-shredded varieties
• If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add warm milk until you reach your desired consistency
• Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly

Storage and Reheating

This mac and cheese keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of milk and stir frequently over low heat to restore the creamy consistency.

Full List of Ingredients
120 g rolled oats (1 1/2 cups)
250 ml hot milk (1 cup, use your favorite, dairy or plant-based)
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs (or vegan substitute)
4 tablespoons cocoa or carob powder (45 g)
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
40 g nuts (1/3 cup, any nuts of your choice, chopped)
75 g dark chocolate (2.65 oz)
40 ml hot milk (3 tablespoons, for the chocolate topping)
Step-by-Step Cooking Directions
Prepare the Oats
In a bowl, combine the rolled oats with 250 ml of hot milk. Stir well and let the mixture soak for 10 minutes. This helps soften the oats and allows the milk to absorb, creating a creamy base for the bake.

Mash the Bananas
While the oats are soaking, peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a separate bowl until smooth. The bananas will provide natural sweetness and moisture to the bake.

Mix the Ingredients
After the oats have soaked, add the mashed bananas, eggs (or vegan substitute), cocoa or carob powder, a pinch of salt, and baking powder to the oats. Mix everything well until fully combined.

Add Nuts
Chop your choice of nuts (such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans) and fold them into the mixture. The nuts will add a satisfying crunch and additional flavor to the bake.

Bake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F). Grease or line a baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared dish and smooth out the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.

Prepare the Chocolate Topping
While the bake is in the oven, melt the dark chocolate with 40 ml of hot milk. You can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave in 20-second intervals. Stir until smooth.

Finish the Bake
Once the oatmeal bake is finished, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the top for a rich, decadent finish.

Serve
Slice the bake into squares or serve warm in bowls. Enjoy it as a hearty breakfast, snack, or light dessert.
