Ingredients
-
12 oz uncooked macaroni, elbow-type
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
12 oz fat-free evaporated milk
8 oz low-fat cheddar or colby cheese, shredded
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp dried bread crumbs
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F.
Cook pasta according to package directions without added fat or salt; drain and transfer to a large bowl. While pasta is still hot, stir in sour cream; set aside.
Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear just around the edges (known as scalding). Reduce heat to low, add cheese and simmer until cheese melts, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, about 2 minutes; remove from heat and stir in mustard, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Add cheese mixture to pasta; mix well. Transfer to a 3-quart casserole dish.
Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over pasta.
Bake until top is golden, about 30 minutes. Yields about 1 cup per serving

This is actually a Weight Watcher recipe. I have been making it for years and my husband loves it. One thing I do different however is reduce the mustard. 1 Tbsp was way too much for my family. But I do not suggest leaving the mustard out altogether as it helps give the dish some sharpness. - 6/16/09

I tried this tonight. My 3.5 year old daughter loved it! She scarfed it down! She actually ate all of her dinner! She usually says she is full at dinner then not much later says she wants this or that...I think she only says she is full cause she just doesn't want to eat what is on her plate! picky! - 5/21/08

Yum! Based on other reviews, I added a tbsp fat free cream cheese and an extra tbsp fat free sour cream. I also used whole wheat macaroni and whole wheat Italian style bread crumbs. I sprayed no cal butter spray over the crumbs and loosely covered with tinfoil to bake. Kept it moist and creamy - 2/15/10

I might try this, but mixed reviews and uncorrected info throw me off a bit. People looking for creamier, cheesier pasta could try adding pureed/mashed cottage cheese for the sour cream (maybe drained like yogurt cheese) and trading another type of cheese for the cheddar like gouda or monterey jack. - 12/31/08
