Ingredients
-
3 cups Dreamfield's macaroni, cooked al dente
1 Tbsp I can't believe it's not butter light
1 Tbsp flour
1 cup skim milk
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
1/2 cup fat free cheddar cheese, shredded
3 egg whites
1 (10 oz) pkg frozen spinach, defrosted & drained well
Salt & pepper, to taste
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, mixing until thick. Stir in the milk and garlic and raise the temperature to bring the mixture to a low boil. Add the cheese and whisk mixture together until thoroughly combined into a cheese sauce. Remove from heat. Add in the egg whites to the mixture and mix until well combined.
3. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, spinach, cheese sauce and salt & pepper and mix well. Spoon the mixture evenly into the cups of the prepared muffin tin.
4. Bake 10 - 15 minutes, until the tops are slightly browned. Allow to cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
