Broccoli Cheddar Mac & Cheese

Ok ok ok..this is technically not “mac” (macaroni) and cheese. It’s RAD (radiatore) and cheese. And it’s RAD AF.

You can use any sturdy noodle here…I chose radiatore because, well,  I found it at a grocery store and thought it was 1) really cool and 2) would hold a creamy cheese sauce well in its little crevices. There’s truly no important reason why I chose this pasta aside from those two factors. I think macaroni, rigatoni mezze, rigatoni, lumache, pumpkin shaped pasta or shells would also go well here.

This recipe is really straight forward. I like to let the cheese shine and I don’t really season with anything other than salt and pepper. However, if you love to serve up heavily seasoned mac n cheese (power to you) you can 100% add garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, mustard powder and any other seasonings that you like.
