After sharing that insanely delicious easiest healthy mac & cheese a few months ago, I have been dabbling with another version with some extra veggies in it for us.

This Healthy Broccoli Mac & Cheese is absolutely insane. It is one of those comfort foods you will crave over and over again and it really easy and simple to make. With a recipe like this around, you won’t be looking to boxed mac & cheese anymore. Just store the key ingredients needed to whip this up, and you’ll have dinner ready in 15 minutes.

I love that this Broccoli Mac & Cheese is also gluten-free and made with 5 key ingredients.

I always switch things up with my gluten-free pastas that I use. Sometimes it is a veggie or bean-based pasta. other times it is a rice based one. I like to diversify the noodles as much as possible to make sure Ez also gets a variety of foods in his diet. I do also used sprouted noodles with gluten it too. Really anything works!

Now let’s run through what ingredients are needed to make this healthy cheesy pasta..

  • Gluten-free pasta – any noodle, any kind, just use your favorite one! I used these
  • Cooked broccoli – you can also use peas or anything veggie if you have a preference. I love using broccoli the most to sneak this veggie in, but do what works for you
  • Organic shredded cheddar cheese – use a dairy-free one if you need!
  • Nutritional yeast – adds that extra cheesy flavor too
  • Non-dairy milk – any kind you want! Plain/unsweetened preferred so it isn’t adding sweetness. It is meant for creaminess.

A few of my other favorite dairy-free pasta recipes: Healthy Baked Vegan Mac & Cheese (gluten-free + nut-free) + 5-ingredient Creamy Squash Pasta (vegan + gluten-free)
