• 1-2 tbsp olive or avocado oil, to grease dishpan and extra to drizzle over mac and cheese before baking

Directions: 

1. To a medium-sized frying pan, saute your zucchini for about 10 minutes until tender.

3. Bring a pot of water to boil and cook two boxes of Goodles Protein Mac And Cheese as directed on the packaging.

6. Add your cooked vegetables and the remainder of your pasta. Stir until evenly combined. 
7. Top with extra cheese and breadcrumbs, then place in the oven at 350F for 15 minutes. 
8. Once baked, turn your oven on broil for 1-2 minutes to make the top golden and crispy. Keep an eye on the mac and cheese so it does not burn! 
9. Remove from the oven, let cool and enjoy!
