The other day I thought I was lacking ingredients for my usual macaroni so I thought I would try something different. This delicious recipe is what I came up with. Give it a try. I think you will enjoy it. . .
.
Ingredients
.
4 cups of water
1/2 tsp of sea salt
1 stick of celery
1 carrot
1/2 medium onion
1/4 of a large green pepper
2 garlic cloves
1 cup of cubed cooked/uncooked - canned/ fresh meat (I tried canned turkey)
2 cups of macaroni of your choice (I use whole wheat)
2 medium tomatoes or 2 cups of cherry tomatoes
1/2 to 3/4 cup of marble cheese
1 tbsp butter/margarine
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 tsp of your choice of herbs
.
Pour water & salt into a medium large pot. Turn on to boil at med high. As you heat the water;
add: celery slit down the middle and sliced, carrot, cubed onion , cubed green pepper, crushed of cubed in tiny pieces garlic cloves & cubed cooked or uncooked-canned or fresh meat of your choice. When water is boiling rapidly add macaroni and butter/margarine. Cook until most of the water has been absorbed. **While the macaroni is boiling cube medium tomatoes (or half cherry tomatoes) and thinly slice in marble cheese into a medium bowl. Fold these 2 ingredients into the undrained macaroni mixture when it is cooked and stir in milk. Turn off burner. Salt & pepper to taste and serve when cheese has melted in.

Serves 4
.
PS Experimenting with herbs can make some nice flavoring.
.
Example:
.
- If you are using poultry for meat or maybe tuna, you can sprinkle about 1/2 a tsp of poultry seasoning or sage into it.
.
- If it is beef, you could try adding 1/2 tsp of thyme.
.
- I don't know what you could use for ham or pork.
.
Do you have any suggestions?
