Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 -3 tablespoons Smart Balance butter spread
2 -3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
3 cups 1% low-fat milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 dash Tabasco sauce
2 cups elbow macaroni, Dreamfields is a low carb option
1 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated. Using higher quality allows you to use less
3/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
salt and pepper, as desired
1 teaspoon chili powder, as desired (or more)

Steps:

  • Heat Smart Balance butter spread in pan over medium heat until melted. Add flour all at once, whisking until smooth. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until flour mixture is cooked, about 3 minutes.
  • Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to thicken, at least 5 minutes. Stir in salt and Tabasco.
  • Add parmesan and mozzarella to sauce, reserving a little of both to sprinkle on top later. Stir until cheese is melted.
  • Meanwhile, cook Dreamfields pasta according to directions on box and drain.
  • Layer cheese sauce and macaroni in oven safe casserole dish. Sprinkle reserved parmesan and mozzarella on top of macaroni and top with S&P as desired. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and brown.
  • Suggestions: if you like a spicy version of macaroni and cheese, add 1 tsp of chili powder and extra dashes of Tabasco to white sauce as it is cooking.

I love this mac and cheese recipe! It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfectly. The cheese sauce is smooth and creamy, and the pasta is cooked just right. I always add a little extra cheese to the top before baking, and it always comes out
