I wanted to make macaroni and cheese that tasted good but didn't add on pounds, writes Ruth Ann Stoy of Newport, Michigan. I think I've done it! Ingredients:
1/2 cup fat-free milk |
1 cup (8 ounces) 1% cottage cheese |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
pepper to taste |
3 cups cooked elbow macaroni |
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. In a blender, combine the milk, cottage cheese, onion, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper;cover and process until smooth. Pour into a bowl; stir in the macaroni and 1/4 cup cheese.
2. Transfer to a 1-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until edges are bubbly. Yield: 4 servings.
