Mikrovågsbar brunris med cheddar-armbågar

The cheese sauce stayed creamy all the way through, and the brown rice elbows actually held their chew without turning mushy in the microwave. I added a sprinkle of black pepper and it was a solid lunch that didn’t taste like a compromise.

The texture is honestly spot-on for brown rice pasta — those elbows hold the creamy cheddar sauce perfectly and stay al dente even after microwaving. I've tried other gluten-free macs that turn to mush, but this one actually tastes like the real thing.
