Here is how you make Tomato and Pea Mac and Cheese:

Makes 8 2-cup servingsCook pasta according to direction on box. While your pasta water is boiling, microwave or otherwise cook your peas and preheat your oven to 375 degrees. After your pasta is cooked, covered and is waiting for you, make your standard Bechamel Sauce (I use Fanny Farmer's recipe only substitute skim milk for whole). During the last 2 minutes of cooking the sauce, add 1 cup of shredded Cheddar Cheese (I like to use Cabot Extra Sharp), along with a pinch of Cayenne Pepper. Add this sauce and your pasta to a large baking dish. Add 1 cup shredded Parm. Cheese (3 oz.s), 1 cup diced tomatoes, and two more ounces shredded cheddar, and stir the whole lot together. You may want to reserve some of your shredded cheese to sprinkle on the top. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ASHESANNE.
