Cheesy Mac and Veggies

This is a favourite recipe in our household.  I tend to make it just for the kids but the adults are always pleased to eat up left overs.

Ingredients
125g Macaroni
25g Butter
1 Tbsp Plain Four
3/4 Cup milk warmed
150g (about 1 cup) of grated Colby or Tasty Cheese
1/2 Cup of Peas
1 Carrot peeled and diced.
(optional extras corn kernels, cauliflower, zucchini - it is great to get 5 veggies in the dish and see it eaten all up).

Method
- Cook the macaroni as per packet instructions
- Cook the veggies.
- Melt butter, add flour, cook for 1 minute on medium low heat.  Gradually add milk stirring until smooth.  Stir until milk is hot but not boiling.  Add cheese, and stir until cheese is melted.  Mix together with pasta and veggies.  Enjoy!
