This Mothership Macaroni and Cheese IS worthy of the name ! Loaded with vegetables, two cheeses and perfect for feeding a crowd
What a name ?! As soon as I had seen the name of this recipe on a local supermarket’s recipe website, I knew I had to try it.
Who wouldn’t go for a recipe called a Mothership Macaroni and Cheese ?
I am not sure whether the name relates to actually feeding a Mothership full of aliens ! Or all of the oh, so great ingredients.
However, we absolutely love this Mac and Cheese which I only adapted slightly to suit my family’s taste buds.
Best part … there are so many vegetables slipped in without making it taste like a casserole.
Just a very overloaded, scrumptious pasta dish.
The first time I made this Mothership Macaroni and Cheese , I did not know what to expect.
Most certainly not a dish suitable to feed 6 – 8 adults – with leftovers !
After the first batch, I started to half the recipe and it was still enough for 4 adults and leftovers for the lunchbox.
I am sharing the full-size recipe below. Therefore if you have more kids to feed than adults, this dish can easily be stretched to around 10 servings.
