INGREDIENTS:


4 cups (16 oz) fresh or frozen broccoli florets, steamed and chopped smaller if they're in large pieces
3 cups (11 1/2 oz) dry whole wheat elbow macaroni (Barilla brand is my fave!)
3 1/2 cups water
16 oz frozen cauliflower (or 4 cups of roughly chopped fresh cauliflower)
1 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth (1/2 cup only if using fresh cauliflower)
2/3 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese (freshly shredded is best for both cheeses, but you can also use pre-shredded)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/8 - 1/4 tsp salt (start with 1/8th of a teaspoon and add another if necessary
optional: some black pepper if you like!

INSTRUCTIONS:


• To your Instant Pot liner add you dry pasta and 3 1/2 cups water. Place a steamer basket on top of everything and put 16 oz (or 4 cups) of cauliflower in the steamer basket. Put lid on and cook on manual for 3 minutes with a quick release afterwards.

• Remove the cauliflower and put it in a blender with 1 1/4 cups broth and puree.

• Return the cauliflower mixture to the pot, stir in the cheeses, salt and pepper. Check seasonings and then stir in the cooked broccoli florets and serve!
