• Onions (15 g)
• Garlic (0.5 clove)
• White Flour (4 g)

Instructions

• Cook macaroni as per instructions on the package. Pasta should still be slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
• Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Then, in a saucepan, heat the margarine over medium heat. Once it is fully melted add the onion and garlic and cook for a minute.
• Add the mixed vegetables and stir until the vegetables are heated through (about 5 minutes).
• Stir in the flour and keep cooking until the flour is fully absorbed. Add the skim milk and keep cooking, while stirring, until it begins to bubble (around 5 minutes). Then add in the cheese and stir until it is melted into the sauce.
• Remove it from the heat and fold in the macaroni until they are coated with the sauce.
