Health and fertility benefits of Too-EZ Mac 'n Cheese

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

4 1/2 ounces uncooked whole-wheat-blend rotini pasta (about 2 cups)
24 ounces frozen broccoli or cauliflower florets in lowfat cheese sauce (about 6 cups)
3 wedges light spreadable Swiss cheese (recommended: The Laughing Cow)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, optional
Fresh parsley, for serving, optional

Instructions

In a large pot, prepare pasta according to the instructions on the package; drain well and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, place contents of the broccoli and sauce package in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave until sauce has melted and broccoli is hot, 10 to 12 minutes.
Once the bowl is cool enough to handle, remove it from the microwave and add cooked pasta. Unwrap cheese wedges and add those as well.
Mix thoroughly, ensuring that the wedged cheese is evenly distributed and the pasta and broccoli are coated in cheese sauce. Season with salt and pepper, if using. Garnish with parsley, if using. Enjoy!
