About Macaroni and cheese with peas

Macaroni and Cheese with Peas is a comforting dish that combines tender macaroni pasta coated in a creamy, melted cheese sauce with vibrant green peas for added texture and flavor. Originating from American cuisine, it’s a popular twist on the classic mac and cheese recipe, showcasing how simple ingredients can create a hearty meal. While the cheese sauce is rich and indulgent, the inclusion of peas adds a nutritious boost—it’s a source of dietary fiber, vitamins C and K, and plant-based protein. However, the dish can be high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium depending on the quantity and type of cheese used. Opting for whole-grain pasta and reducing the cheese can help make this dish a more balanced option. A great way to enjoy comfort food while sneaking in some vegetables!
