Ingredients
- 2 oz light butter (1/2 stick)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups skim milk
- 20 oz fat free cheddar cheese, grated (2 1/2 cups)
- 1 1/2 cups elbow shaped macaroni
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and salt. Gradually whisk in milk.
- Simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 4 to 6 minutes. Add half the cheese and stir until melted.
- Pour the cooked elbow macaroni into an 8x8" glass baking dish. Pour sauce over noodles, then mix. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top.
- Bake until heated through and the cheese on top has melted, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Serve warm or chilled.
- Note: based on recipe from "OK, So Now You're a Vegetarian" by Lauren Butts.
