Add a dash of nutmeg and a dash of cinnamon.When rue begins to smell nutty and turn a darker color, whisk in nonfat milk. Feel free to use more milk if you want to stretch the sauce further. Cook until sauce begins to thicken. Add cheese and simmer until completely melted.Toss in macaroni and transfer to a baking dish.Bake at 350* F for 20 minutes until golden brown.If you have extra calories, you can add a breadcrumb topping to this by tossing 2 tbsp fat free parmesan topping and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs together with some seasonings and sprinkle on top to bake.
