Macaroni and cheese is definitely one that many crave, but here’s a low fat recipe you can try that will please your taste buds, so you don’t have to deprive yourself of some of those comfort foods.

Recipe for Low Fat Macaroni and Cheese

Approx 2.5 grams of fat and 180 calories per serving

1 cup skim milk

2 teaspoon butter

4 oz of shredded mozzarella

6 oz of shredded reduced fat (2% milk) sharp cheddar

2 pieces of Laughing Cow® Fat Free swiss cheese (1oz)

1 box boiled, drained pasta (whole wheat pasta recommended for healthier meal)

Salt and pepper (optional)

Begin with skim milk, butter, and Laughing Cow® cheese in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the sauce is creamy and the cheese is completely melted. Slowly add the low fat shredded cheese and mozzarella, and continue stirring as they melt. If cheese sauce is too thick, add additional very small amounts of milk as you continue stirring, until it reaches your preferred consistency. Add salt and pepper if you desire, then add the pasta to the low fat cheese sauce. Stir together… serve, and enjoy!
