Bacon & Pesto Mac and Cheese

Name: Bacon & Pesto Mac and Cheese
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 100 g Bacon lardons; 125 g Macaroni; 250 ml Chicken bone broth; 250 ml Semi skimmed milk; 1 tbsp Garlic granules; 40 g Reduced fat cheddar; 30 g Light cream cheese; 2 tbsp Green pesto

To me nothing beats a good bowl of mac and cheese, and this one pan version has been my go-to for so long, and this time it’s topped with crispy bacon and a drizzle of pesto, and it’s just so SO good. Perfect with some green veggies or garlic bread too.
