We love mac and cheese, but not all of the fat and calories, so I've been working on a lighter version and this is what I came up with. My DD loves this and she's picky about her mac and cheese.

This recipe is a keeper! The cheese sauce is smooth and flavorful, and the pasta is cooked perfectly. I love that it's a 'lite' version, but it still satisfies my cheesy craving.

I was skeptical about a 'lite' mac and cheese, but this recipe proved me wrong! It's just as cheesy and flavorful as the traditional version, but without all the guilt. I'll definitely be making this again.
