Ingredients
- Spray for cooking
- 6 ounces of elbow macaroni made from whole wheat
- 1 can of 5 ounces skim milk, divided into portions
- 1 teaspoon of tapioca starch
- 5 ounces of grated low-fat sharp Cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
- A pinch of cayenne pepper
Step 1
Prepare a delightful 8x8-inch baking dish by generously coating it with cooking spray, ensuring a non-stick result for your dish.
Step 2
Begin your culinary journey by bringing a generously salted pot of water to a rolling boil. Add whole wheat macaroni to the bubbling water, gently stirring every now and then. Cook until the macaroni reaches that perfect al dente texture, typically around 8 minutes.
Step 3
As the pasta cooks, adjust your oven rack to a position about 6 inches from the broiler and allow it to preheat, setting the stage for that beautifully browned finish.
Step 4
In a saucepan, combine a tablespoon of evaporated milk with tapioca, then gradually whisk in the rest of the milk. Introduce the sharp Cheddar cheese, tangy mustard, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, and a sprinkle of pepper to the mix. Bring the concoction to a gentle simmer, ensuring the cheese melts into a luscious sauce. Once thickened to your liking, fold in the cooked pasta, coating each piece generously. Transfer this creamy delight into the awaiting baking dish.
Step 5
Slide the dish under the broiler's heat until the top takes on a tempting golden hue, a process that usually takes 2 to 3 minutes. Once ready, allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving, letting the flavors meld and the dish cool just enough for a delightful dining experience.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Embrace the Power of Mason Jars : Utilize mason jars to store your leftover mac and cheese. Layer it with different toppings like breadcrumbs or bacon for a ready-to-eat meal.
- 2. Freeze in Ice Cube Trays : Portion out your mac and cheese in ice cube trays for quick and convenient single servings. Simply pop them out and reheat whenever you have a craving.
