Ingredients

    12 oz package of Heartland Hidden Vegetable Twisted Elbows

    6 Tbsp Country Crock Margarine

    6 Tbsp All-purpose flour

    1/2 tsp salt

    1 tsp pepper

    2 3/4 cups skim milk (with 1 c. divided)

    8 oz (one block) 2% reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese shredded or diced (shredded is ideal, but I have diced it to save time)

Tips

Stir sauce constantly or it can scorch on the bottom. Pepper can be reduced.
For your non-veggies, try adding cubed Kielbasa.


Directions

Boil 4 quarts of water
Add pasta
Wait for reboil then cook for 7 minutes or desired tenderness
Remove from heat and drain

While pasta is draining, add margarine to hot pan on low. Add flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-3 minutes whisking out any lumps until smooth and thickening.
Add remaining milk and cook for 7 minutes or until slightly thick and bubbly.
Add cheese and stir until cheese melts.
Add cooked pasta back in. Stir to blend.
Serve.
