HEALTHY MAC AND CHEESE



Healthy Mac and Cheese image

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.

Provided by Olena Osipov

Categories     Dinner

Time 14m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups whole wheat elbow macaroni (uncooked)
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth (low sodium)
1 cup whole milk
2 tbsp butter (salted)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp mustard (condiment)
3/4 tsp salt
Ground black pepper (to taste)
1 cup marble or cheddar cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)

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.

Provided by Jennifer Joyce

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

50g baguette, cut into small chunks
2 tbsp butter, plus 1 tbsp melted
350g spiral or other short pasta
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tsp English mustard powder
3 tbsp plain flour
500ml whole milk
250g vegetarian mature cheddar, grated
50g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spread the baguette chunks over a baking sheet, drizzle with the melted butter and season. Bake for 6 mins until crisp, then set aside.
  • Boil the pasta for 2 mins less than stated on the pack, then drain. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the garlic and English mustard powder, cook for 1 min, then stir in the plain flour.
  • Cook for 1 min more, then gradually whisk in the milk until you have a lump-free sauce. Simmer for 5 mins, whisking all the time until thickened. Take off the heat, then stir in the cheddar and half the parmesan.
  • Stir the pasta and some seasoning into the cheesy sauce. Tip into a large ovenproof dish, or four individual dishes.
  • Scatter over the bread and the remaining parmesan, then bake for 20 mins until crisp and golden. Can be frozen before baking - defrost thoroughly before cooking.
