HEALTHY MAC AND CHEESE
Easy Healthy Mac and Cheese swaps out copious amounts of heavy dairy for lightened up options - for a dish that is still creamy and comforting, but with a portion of the fat and calories! Even better, this stovetop version requires only one pot and 15 minutes to prepare.

Steps:
- In a medium pot, add broth, milk, butter, garlic powder, mustard, salt, ground black pepper and bring to a boil.
- Add elbow macaroni and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente or desired firmness and adding more milk or broth if you wish.
- Turn off heat. Add marble cheese and Parmesan cheese in portions and stir between each until melted. That's it.
- Serve immediately as mac and cheese tastes best fresh. Saucy, creamy and so comforting!
- Top with your favorite hot sauce, everything bagel, Montreal steak spice, paprika, nutmeg, soy sauce and even honey. Or with leftover chopped bacon. I like to bake mine at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes. Way less mess.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and thyme, then squeeze in the roasted garlic flesh from the skin and cook to soften the onions, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle over the flour and cook for a minute or two. Stir in the heavy cream and reserved pasta water. Add the mascarpone, truffles, pepper, salt and paprika. Stir to combine. Add 1 1/2 cups of each cheese and stir to melt.
- In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the pasta, half of the remaining cheese, the remaining pasta and then top with the remaining cheese. Bake until bubbly, about 10 minutes, then broil until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to sit for a few minutes before serving.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut the top quarter off each garlic bulb. Place the bulbs in a pie pan and drizzle the tops with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and bake until the garlic is roasted and soft, about 45 minutes.
