Dietitians Dinner

I decided to start providing some information on simple and easy to make meals.

Macaroni Cheese with chickpeas

This is a real standby  for those times it is really late and we do not feel like cooking.

Ingredients

One can chickpeas drained

One can macaroni cheese

Sprinkle cheese

Open the cans drain the chickpeas (you can keep the thick liquid from the chickpeas which is called aquafaba and makes a really good substitute for eggs in a recipe). Mix with the macaroni cheese and heat in a saucepan or in a microwave.

Pour into a dish and sprinkle over the cheese and enjoy.

This is so easy and uses store cupboard items. It is suitable for vegetarians and provides fibre and protein from the chickpeas. Calcium from the milk and cheese.

It is easy to adapt it and last night I added cooked cauliflower.

You can use other beans or make your own macaroni cheese
