Zubereitung von Lighter Macaroni And Cheese

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water (about 2 teaspoons of salt) to a rolling boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, whisk together the evaporated milk, 1 teaspoon salt, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup milk and cornstarch until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering milk mixture.
  6. Continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  8. Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir gently to coat.
  9. Let the macaroni and cheese sit for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken further. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
