Directions
Macaroni Vegetable Cheese Pie,A new take on macaroni and cheese, from Taste of the Caribbean. I added spinach and parmesan cheese to the original recipe, and I forgot all about the egg – but since it was completely devoured by my husband and son, it must have been okay. Don’t let the cinnamon scare you – it is very subtle. Note: I’ve included a bit more information in the directions after the first review that informed me I’d left a couple things out (thanks Ellie).,ADD FRESH FINELY SHREDDED GARLIC TO THE CHEESE…THAT REALLY BRINGS OUT THE FLAVOUR. A GOOD DISH TO STUFF MARROW WITH TOO.,I increased the shredded cheddar to about 2 cups and added 1.5 teaspoons of coarse sea salt. That really helped bring out the flavor. I didn’t have mustard powder so I substituted 1 Tablespoon of yellow mustard.
