Ingredients:

Serving

1 (16 oz) box barilla plus elbow macaroni
6 tbsp smart balance margarine
2 -3 tbsp flour
2 1/2 cups skim milk
1 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper, to taste (i like lots of pepper )
8 oz low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
8 oz low-fat velveeta cheese, cubed
4 oz low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a large non stick pot, cook and drain macaroni according to package directions; set aside.
In the same pot melt butter. Add flour, stir until well blended.
Pour one cup milk in gradually; stirring constantly.Bring to boiling point.
Reduce heat to low.
Add shredded cheddar and cubed Velveeta a little at a time, simmer until cheese melts into a creamy sauce. (If necessary slowly add up to the other half cup milk to keep cheese sauce thin enough to stir effectively).
Turn off flame. Add macaroni to the saucepan and toss to coat with the cheese sauce.
Transfer macaroni to a buttered baking dish, cover with tinfoil(spray tinfoil with baking spray so it does not stick).
Bake 30 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Top with 4 oz sharp cheddar and allow to melt before serving. (Optional).
