Hungry Girl Mac and Cheese With Broccoli

Submitted by GingerlyJ

"This mac and cheese is good, creamy and actaully good for you. Little kids are more likely to eat their broccoli if mac and cheese is mixed in. I used green giant broccoli with cheese and Laughing cow cheese wedges"

1. In a large pot, prepare pasta according to the instructions on the package; drain well and set aside.
