Braces Friendly Recipe: Week 11

Hi everyone! We hope everyone is having a great week so far, and that everyone is staying healthy with all of those nasty flu bugs going around. 

This week's recipe is from "The Braces Cookbook" by Pamela and Brenda Waterman, and it is another great one for those tender and sore teeth.

Three-Cheese Macaroni Extravaganza

2 cups uncooked macaroni noodles

Water for boiling

(optional: 1 or 2 onions, chopped)

(optional: 1 to 2 tablespoons margarine for sauteing onions)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (fresh is best, but the canned type works too)

1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup shredded mild or sharp cheddar cheese

1 1/2 cups milk

1/2 cup bread crumbs or dry stove-top stuffing

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 40 minutes.

In a medium pot, boil macaroni in water until you can just cut it with the side of a fork; drain and set aside. In a medium saucepan, saute the onions in the margarine until they are clear and tender.

In a 3-quart greased casserole, stir together the macaroni and milk. Sprinkle with the cheeses and onion, then stir it all together. Sprinkle the bread crumbs on top.

Cover and bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Serves six to eight.

We hope everyone enjoys this weeks' recipe. If you have a recipe you'd like to see featured on our blog, email Januari at januari@dunayortho.com.
