Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz whole wheat macaroni
3 cups 1% low-fat milk
2 tbsp cornstarch
4 cups spinach leaves
2 oz neufchatel cheese, at room temperature, cut in small pieces
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 cup shredded reduced fat extra-sharp cheddar cheese (4oz)
1/4 cup grated romano cheese
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

Directions:

Cook macaroni as package directs. Heat 2 1/2 cups milk until hot. Add cornstarch to remaining cold milk; whisk to blend. Pour into hot milk and stir over medium heat until sauce simmers. Stir 1 minute as sauce thickens. Remove pot from heat. Add spinach, Neufchatel, salt and pepper; whisk until sauce is smooth.
Heat oven to 375; grease a 2-quart baking dish. Toss 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons Romano and bread crumbs in a bowl.
Mix pasta, sauce, and remaining cheddar and Romano until blended. Transfer to baking dish. Sprinkle with bread crumb mixture.
