Macaroni & Cheese - Phase 2 & 3
South Beach Macaroni & Cheese
From the South Beach Diet - Quick & Easy CookBook Phase 2 & 3 8 Oz Spelt or WW Elbow Pasta 1 TBS Trans-fat-free margarine 1 TBS WW Flour 1 1/4 cups FF half and half 1 Cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese 1/4 TSP salt 1/8 TSP freshly ground black pepper Heat oven to 400*F Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente (tender but still firm to the bite), about 6 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water for 30 seconds. While pasta is cooking, melt margarine in a wide, straight-sided skillet over a medium heat. Add flour, reduce heat to low, and whisk continuously until flour is incorporated and cooked, about 2 minutes. Add half-and-half, bring to a simmer, and cook, whisking frequently, until blended and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add cheese, salt and pepper; stir until blended. Add pasta and stir until coated and warmed, 1 minute. Transfer to an 8 by 8-inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Serve hot. Makes 4 (1 1/2 cup) servings.

Lowfat evaporated milk works well too instead of the f/f half and half (I avoid it cuz I can't find any varieties that don't have corn syrup solids as one of the tope ingredients - and 1 1/2 C is a lot for me...)
I always bulk up my mac and cheese with some barely steamed broccoli to get those extra veggies in. Thanks for posting! |
