Ingredients

12 oz. uncooked macaroni

1/2 cup fat-free sour cream

12 oz. fat-free evaporated milk

8 oz. low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

1 tbsp dijon mustard

1/4 tsp salt (I prefer kosher salt)

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp dried bread crumbs

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 3-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Cook macaroni according to package directions, omitting any 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. 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, and pepper. Add cheese mixture to pasta; mix well. Transfer to prepared casserole dish. Combine bread crumbs and parmesan; sprinkle over pasta. Bake until top is golden, about 30-40 minutes.
