Introduction

Variations on Slim Gourmet Mac and Cheese from Cooks.com, although their caloric calculations are much lower, probably from calculating this as a side dish. I like to bake this over spinach and/or add diced cooked ham for a heartier main dish. Great with a simple salad in warm weather or bowl of hearty tomato, black bean or pumpkin soup when it's chilly outside.

1 t. minced garlic (1 clove) or dijon mustard

Directions

Grease casserole dish or baking pan. Mix milk and cottage cheese thoroughly (I use an immersion blender) and add egg. Then add garlic or dijon, salt and pepper, grated cheese and cooked macaroni.
