Made with just a few pantry staples and ready in 20 minutes, this bone broth mac and cheese packs in 33 grams of protein. And because it wouldn't be one of our recipes without fiber, this one has 7 grams! I've tested this so many times that I'm confident you can make great pasta in just one pot (without boiling the pasta separately).

Blend together 3 cloves garlic, 1.5 cups chicken bone broth, 15 oz white beans drained, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and ½ c cottage cheese. Pour this into a large stock pan or Dutch oven and bring to a simmer. Add the 8 oz pasta and stir to coat. Make sure the pasta is fully covered. Bring to a boil, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. Although it will likely still stick some due to the sauce being made from beans. Also monitor the liquid level. If the pasta absorbs too much and is no longer submerged, add enough broth to just cover the top of the pasta. This is common if using gluten free pasta.
When the pasta is done, stir in the <wprm-ingredient uid="6" removed="0">2 cups of any combination of white and yellow cheddar until melted. Then taste and add salt and pepper as desired. I love mine with buffalo!
