Recipe Swap: Macaroni & Cheese | Welcome to WeightFan


	Too-EZ Mac ‘n Cheese

	Our mac ‘n cheese doesn’t need to be a fluorescent shade of orange to stand up to the competition. It tastes AMAZING, and it’s as simple as A-B-C. (P.S. The cheesy cauliflower works perfectly here — trust us!)*Ingredients:* 6 cups (about 24 oz.) frozen Green Giant Cauliflower & Cheese Sauce 2 cups uncooked Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Blend Rotini Pasta (or another whole-wheat or whole-wheat-blend pasta) 3 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese Optional: salt and black pepper, to taste *Directions:* Prepare pasta according to the instructions on the box, and then drain well and set aside. While pasta is cooking, place contents of the cauliflower & sauce package in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave for 12 – 16 minutes, until sauce has melted and cauliflower is hot. Once the bowl is cool enough to handle, remove it from the microwave and add cooked pasta. Set aside. Unwrap cheese wedges and place in a small microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth, and then add to the bowl. Mix thoroughly, ensuring that the Laughing Cow cheese is evenly distributed and the pasta and cauliflower are coated in cheese sauce. If you like, season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy! MAKES 4 SERVINGS

	Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
	BIG Mac
	We grew up eating that mac & cheese from the infamous blue box. Who didn’t?! Truth be told, that stuff tastes good. You make it with butter and milk, so of course it’s gonna taste great. But adding fatty ingredients to boxed pasta with cheese powder is certainly NOT the only way to get super-delicious cheesy macaroni. We assure you. This recipe is proof! It’s JUST as quick ‘n easy as the Kraft version, but it’s WAY lower in fat and calories. Plus, it has actual nutritional value. (It’s true!) You get all the cheesy noodley goodness and way more bang for your calorie buck with ours. So head to the kitchen and whip up a batch of our vegged out, cheesylicious pasta ASAP. Then email in and let us know how you like it. Special thanks go out to our BFF The Laughing Cow, without whom this recipe would not be possible.
