So here's the recipe.
Hearty and Healthy Mac and Cheese
( adapted from http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pasta/hearty-healthy-mac-and-cheese.html?p=9)
8 oz low fat cottage cheese
2 c low fat sharp cheddar cheese
1 small onion
3 clove garlic
1 c low fat milk
1 pkg whole grain macaroni
1 Tbsp garlic salt
3 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
Directions
Prepare
macaroni until "al dente." I boiled mine for about 5 minutes and it
was good to go. Drain and set aside.
Process milk, onion, garlic, cottage cheese,
cheddar cheese, mustard, paprika, and garlic salt in blender until smooth. Stir
macaroni and cheese mixture until well combined.
Here's what it looked like...
But I blanched some broccoli and I was going to add it the pasta to kick up the nutrition value.
They say to pour macaroni mixture into greased baking pan and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes until top is golden brown and insides are bubbly, but I decided to do little individual portions, some with and without broccoli.
.... and ta da! Here you have pretty little portions in the cutest little pots and a large one for leftovers. Enjoy!
