CREAMY WHOLE WHEAT MAC AND CHEESE



Creamy Whole Wheat Mac and Cheese image

My daughter and I love mac and cheese. It's a great side dish with dinner and a great lunch served with a crisp salad!

Provided by Audrey Johns

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (13.25-ounce) box whole wheat elbow pasta
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the flour and mix with a wooden spoon, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes, or until you have a lightly browned paste (this is the roux).
  • Add 1 cup of the almond milk and whisk well, breaking up any lumps. Stir in the remaining 2 cups almond milk and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring continuously and occasionally scraping the bottom of the pan with the wooden spoon, until the mixture has thickened and coats the spoon with little to no transparency. Turn off the heat.
  • Stir in the pasta until it's covered in the sauce. Add the cheese and mix until it has melted and is evenly distributed.
  • Serve with a crunchy green salad.

CREAMY WHOLE WHEAT MAC AND CHEESE

I love finding yummy, easy recipes that are healthy too! This is one of those. I used to enjoy the blue box mac & cheese, especially for quick meals, but this fits the bill much better - still quick and yummy, but now healthy too! I love using whole foods so this recipe calls for whole milk (I use raw). And here's the secret: Cook your pasta in the MILK instead of water. The milk makes it super creamy. The starch from the pasta thickens the milk into a sauce. Add your cheese after the pasta is finished cooking.

  • Cook pasta in salted water one minute shy of al dente according to package instructions. Mine took about 7 minutes but always check your box for timing.
