A lighter version of a classic, this tasty dish is a favorite when we're looking for something satisfying -- and utterly comforting! 

Mac & Cheese with Dandelion and Feta by The Food Gays

200g macaroni noodles
4 litres water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch dandelion, stems removed
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
black pepper, to taste


Method

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni noodles according to package directions. 

In a frying pan on medium heat, add oil. Once warm, add onion, and sweat for 3-4 minutes until they become slightly soft. Add garlic, and cook for another 2 minutes. Drain pasta and set aside 1/4 cup of the cooking water.

Add dandelion to the pan, and lime juice. Cook for a minute or two before adding the pasta. Add feta cheese and black pepper. Combine well and serve.
