âMy grandkids really like this rich, buttery macaroni and cheese, says Flo Burtnett of Gage, Oklahoma. And adults go for the home-style breadcrumb topping and creamy, comforting flavor. It doesn't taste light at all!â Ingredients:
3 cups uncooked ziti or small tube pasta |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1-3/4 cups fat-free milk |
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
topping: |
3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs |
1-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted |
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook ziti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in cheeses until melted.
2. Drain ziti; add to sauce and stir to coat. Transfer to a shallow 1-1/2-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and butter; stir in cheeses. Sprinkle over ziti. Bake, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until heated through and topping is lightly browned. Yield: 5 servings.
