The ingredients for Mac and Cheese are:

* 1/2 Tbsp. butter
* 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
* 1 cup low-fat milk
* 1 1/2 cups reduced fat, extra sharp cheddar cheese
* 1/4 cup fresh, grated grated Parmesan cheese
* 4 cups cooked whole wheat macaroni or penne
* 1/4 cup bread crumbs preferably panko

Here is how you make Mac and Cheese:

Preheat the oven to 400°. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and add the flour, cooking and stirring until it's fully incorporated and lightly golden. Add the milk slowly, whisking constantly to work out any lumps that may form. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the cheddar and Parmesan, and cook until fully melted. Toss the sauce with the pasta, place in a large baking dish, and top with the bread crumbs. Bake for 15 minutes, until the bread crumbs are toasted and a crust has formed on top.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MRSMUNK.
