**Make it Cheesy**: Reduce the heat to low. Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the veggies. Stir in the cheddar, Parmesan, and Gouda cheeses, along with black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined. If it looks too thick, add a splash of reserved chicken broth to reach your desired creaminess.
