Notes
If the cheese sauce is too thick, just add more milk. If too loose, turn up the heat slightly and add more cheese.Make sure not to overcook your rice or broccoli. You don’t want the broccoli to fall apart in the sauce nor the rice to be gummy.Try adding a tsp or 2 of pesto for a change of flavor!
