    Sounds great, can't wait to try it, but--where are the tomatoes? It's called Tomato Mac & Cheese but there are no tomatoes in the ingredients...should I just add a can...? - 12/28/11

    I used whole wheat elbows, canned diced tomatoes, and fat free kraft shredded cheddar. I baked mine with a light panko breadcrumb topping and baked chicken. It was really good. I understand it is supposed to be low sodium, but I did need to add a little bit of sea salt for flavor. I will make again! - 1/17/10

  • This is incredible, considering the calories. Just keep in mind that 1 serving is .5 a cup; this stuff is really good, so be careful not to go overboard! - 9/22/10

  • This is a good option for a low sodium meal. It needed a little more flavor so I sprinkled on a bit of sea salt. I topped it with a sliced tomato & a sprinkle of paprika before baking. I think the 2% milk cheese I used was still too fatty to make this a low fat dish. Fat free cheese might be better. - 5/28/09

  • Was confused on when to add the tomato and what kind and also the 2 cups cooked was not enough to fee 8 so wasnt sure if 2 cups uncooked or cooked I adjusted as needed and will recalculate for correct nutrients otherwise looked good and did have a nice creamy taste - 9/12/08

  • This is the first GOOD low fat, low sodium mac and cheese I have ever made. Very flavorful and most importantly to me, definitely a "comfort food", just like mac and cheese should be. Couldn't figure out the tomato part though, so I served it with stewed tomatoes. - 3/10/08
