Once again Kraft has helped me out with finding a good side dish that can act as most of the meal. This one has the veggies, the tanginess, and the Mac n Cheese. It is too bad that I don't think I used a single Kraft product in this recipe but that is what happens when you shop at Aldi. It is amazing how easy this is and the only draw back is need for two pots.

Ingredients:
- 1 pkg of Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese
- 1/4 cup Kraft Zesty Light Italian Dressing
- 2 small Zucchini, Chopped
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 1/2 cup Kraft shredded Sharp cheddar cheese.
Directions:
- Prepare Macaroni and Cheese per instructions
- In a sauce pan heat dressing over medium heat and add zucchini and cook for 5 minutes or till crisp.
- Add to Macaroni and Cheese along with chopped Tomatoes.
- Top with shredded cheese.
A few things to note. Shells work real nice as well. regular Italian Dressing works since Aldi does not have Zesty. The cheese on top is not nessecary and we have pretty much eliminated in the past couple of times making it. This is a great recipe and Rae loves it. It complements a good meal and can stand alone as well. Most definately makes the book. Another thing is the picture is from Kraft.com so thanks to them again for assist.
