Indulge in a creamy, comforting bowl of Macaroni and Cheese, enhanced with sweet corn and fresh peas for a delightful twist!

1

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

In the same pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour to create a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture turns a light golden color.

3

Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Increase the heat to medium-high and continue whisking until the sauce thickens, which should take about 3-5 minutes.

4

Once thickened, reduce the heat to low and stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.

5

Stir in 1 cup of cooked corn and 1 cup of frozen peas. Finally, add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until everything is well combined.

6

Serve immediately while hot, or transfer to a baking dish and keep in the oven at a low temperature to stay warm.

• For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream to the cheese sauce.
• Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
