How to Make Almost Non Fat Mac And Cheese

  1. Cook 1 pound of elbow macaroni in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups of skim milk over medium heat until steaming (do not boil).
  3. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in 4 ounces of light cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups of shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese and ½ cup of shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce. Toss gently to coat all the pasta evenly.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy your guilt-free mac & cheese!
