Steps to make Lightly Loaded Baked Mac & Cheese:

- Boil water in pot to cook pastas and then cook pastas until they are half cooked
- Strain pastas and set aside
- In pot heat milk, half of the butter, and the cheese wedges and whisk until blended. Then add seasonings and stir until blended
- Use remaining butter to grease a baking pan. You can use a square pan or I used a bread pan
- Add a layer of pasta, diced veggies and garlic, meatless crumbles and sprinkle romano cheese and cheddar along layer
- Pour milk mixture over pasta after one or two layers. Then add remaining ingredients until gone.
- Bake covered for 25-35 minutes
- Remove, sprinkle with parsely (flakes or fresh) and red pepper flakes and enjoy. Pairs great with sauted veggies. I used baby carrots, zuchinni, baby radishes and garlic in olive oil.
- Tip: if using meat instead of precooked meatless crumbles make sure you brown meat prior to adding it in before baking.
- Also, I like the look of two different pastas but you can use either or. You can also use many different types of veggies.
