How To make Reduced Fat Macaroni & Cheese
8 oz Macaroni, elbow twists 16 oz Cottage cheese, low-fat 1% 2 T
Flour, all-purpose 2 c Skim milk 4 oz Cheese, sharp cheddar shred 1 t Salt 1/4 t Pepper, ground black 1/4 t Nutmeg ground 1/4 c Cheese, parmesan grated "They'll never know we sneaked out 10 grams of fat per serving because this macaroni and cheese is as good as - even BETTER than - the old-favorite recipe." Beginning about 45 minutes before serving: 1. Prepare macaroni as label directs but do not add salt to water;
drain. 2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray shallow, broiler-safe, 2 1/2-quart casserole with nonstick cooking spray. 3. In food processor with knife blade attached, blend cottage cheese until smooth. (Or, in blender at high speed, blend cottage cheese with 1/4 cup of the milk called for in recipe, for easier blending.) 4. In 2-quart saucepan, mix flour with 1/4 cup milk until smooth.
Slowly stir in remaining cups milk until blended. Cook over medium heat until mixture just boils and thickens slightly, stirring frequently. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in cottage cheese, Cheddar, salt, pepper and nutmeg. 5. Place macaroni in casserole; cover with cheese sauce. Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes. 6. Remove casserole from oven. Turn oven control to broil. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of macaroni mixture. 7. Place casserole in broiler at closest position to source of heat; broil 2 to 3 minutes until top is golden brown. This recipe which I've made and enjoyed, comes from the September 1995 issue of Good Housekeeping.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Do not heat the sauce separately before adding to pasta, this can cause it to separate. For best results, strain the cooked pasta, let sit for 2-3 minutes (so it isn't extremely hot when adding to the sauce), then add the desired amount of sauce to the warm pasta.
- The sauce will thicken up in the fridge, but when you add to warm pasta it will melt and combine easily (similar to those sauces that come with Velveeta Shells and Cheese).
- IF the sauce separates when you add to the pasta, remove from heat and let it sit for ~5 minutes. Then, stir the pasta continually and the sauce will re-constitute. The separating issue typically is caused by excess heat but is resolved once it cools down a bit and is stirred.
Ingredients:
450g 2% Cottage Cheese (one entire 16oz container)

20g Parmigianno Reggiano
30g Cheddar Powder (buy in bulk on Amazon or use packets found in boxed Mac n Cheese)

PRINTABLE RECIPE & NUTRITION INFO:
Ingredients
375 grams whole wheat macaroni (about 3 cups dry)
¼ cup butter or margarine
¼ cup all purpose flour
1 ½ cups 1% milk
1 ½ cups chicken broth
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika
2 cups + 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese low fat if desired
⅓ cup Panko bread crumbs
Instructions
Cook macaroni according to package directions (you want it al dente or a little undercooked, as it will continue cooking in the oven). Drain and rinse under cold water.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (if baking right away)
Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a large skillet, melt butter. Stir in flour, salt, pepper and paprika and cook 1 minute.
Whisk in milk and chicken broth and cook over medium heat, whisking often, until thickened (about 5-6 minutes).
Stir in 2 cups cheese until melted. Add pasta to sauce and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Pour into a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish and top with remaining cheese and Panko bread crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly. Broil for 1-2 minutes to brown the top if desired.
