    List of Ingredients




    12 oz uncooked macaroni, elbow-type
    1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
    12 oz fat-free evaporated milk
    8 oz low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
    1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
    1/4 tsp table salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
    2 Tbsp dried bread crumbs
    2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350¼F. Cook pasta according to package directions without added fat or salt; drain and transfer to a large bowl. While pasta is still hot, stir in sour cream; set aside.

    Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear just around the edges (known as scalding). Reduce heat to low, add cheese and simmer until cheese melts, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, about 2 minutes; remove from heat and stir in mustard, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

    Add cheese mixture to pasta; mix well. Transfer to a 4-quart casserole dish.
    Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over pasta. Bake until top is golden, about 30 minutes.

    Chef Tips - We renovated Macaroni and Cheese by:Using fat-free sour cream instead of regular. Swapping evaporated fat-free milk for regular milk. Opting for reduced-fat cheddar cheese instead of the full-fat variety.
