STOVE-TOP MACARONI AND CHEESE (WEIGHT WATCHERS)

We enjoyed this easy and delicious macaroni and cheese. If following the Weight Watchers plan it is only 6 pts/serving. When I made it I used whole wheat elbow macaroni and a combination of Kraft 2% sharp cheddar and some Weight Watcher Mexican blend cheese. If you start the cheese sauce while the pasta is cooking everything will be done at the same time --so quick and so easy! Recipe source: www.weightwatchers.com

Steps:

  • While macaroni is cooking, in a large saucepan over medium heat whisk together milk, flour, salt, onion powder and pepper until blended.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer, stirring often until thickened (2 to 5 minutes).
  • Remove from heat; stir in cheese and Tabasco.
  • Toss pasta with sauce.

16 ounces macaroni (see note in description)
2 cups skim milk (I used 1% milk)
1/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
pepper
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese (see note in description)
1/8 teaspoon hot sauce (Tabasco sauce)

FOUR CHEESE MACARONI

This is a wonderful way to use up all those bits of cheese left over in the fridge. The idea comes from Weight Watchers and it lends itself to using cheese you have on hand. Of course, Weight Watchers recommends reduced-fat cheese and there were quite a few changes made by me. To ensure that the sauce is nice and creamy, make sure that one of the cheeses you use is a processed cheese. True comfort food!
