For almost as long as I can remember, I haven't cared for mac & cheese. I think it stems from overdosing on it as a toddler. Between the ages of three and five, I had enough to last me until I was 24.
However, now all I want is cheese covered carbs.
Mmmmmmmmmm...............cheeeeeeeeeeeeese. Baked cheesy, pasta gloriousness.
Recipe from Skinny Taste.com
How Long Is This Gonna Take:
15 minutes + 20 minutes baking time
What You'll Need:
1 box Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Butter
1/4 cup Flour
1/4 cup Onions, chopped
2 cups Skim Milk
1 cup Chicken Broth
8oz Reduced Fat Cheddar
S&P
4 cups Baby Spinach
1/8 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Bread Crumbs
What To Do:
1. Cook pasta in salted water, leaving it a bit firm. Preheat oven to 375F and spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter. Whisk in flour over low heat. Add onions and cook another 2 minutes. Add milk and broth. Raise heat to med-high and continue whisking until smooth and boiling. Remove from heat, melt in cheddar. Season with S&P. Wilt in spinach, then mix in pasta.
3. Transfer to baking dish. Top with parmesan and bread crumbs. Spray top with a little bit more cooking spray. Cook for 15-20 minutes, then broil to brown bread crumbs.
What You'll Need:
Now what ever possessed you to add spinach? (Must be a grown ups version.) A nice bit of greens beside it on the plate does the trick for me.
