Low Fat Macaroni and Cheese
Fiona Haynes
Macaroni and cheese is perhaps the ultimate in comfort foods, but if you use
regular cheese, butter for a roux and whole milk, that's an awful lot of fat
calories. Here's a low fat macaroni and cheese that dispenses with the butter
and substitutes reduced-fat cheese and nonfat milk for their full-fat
counterparts.
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
list of 6 items
. 12 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni or other short tube pasta
. 2 1/2 tbsp flour
. 2 cups nonfat milk
. 1 1/4 cups reduced-fat extra-sharp cheddar, grated
. 1 tsp Dijon mustard
. Freshly ground black pepper
list end
Preparation:
Cook pasta according to the instructions on the package. While pasta is
cooking, place flour in a medium saucepan and gradually whisk in milk. Heat the
milk and flour on medium and bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent
lumps. Reduce heat and allow to simmer until the milk begins to thicken. Stir
in cheese and mustard, and stir until cheese melts. Toss drained pasta and
sauce in a large bowl. Add freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
