ingredients

  • 12 oz uncooked pasta, elbow macaroni or other small shape (about 3 cups)
  • 1/8 tsp table salt, for pasta cooking water
  • 2 cup fat-free skim milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp table salt
  • 3/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup low-fat shredded sharp cheddar cheese

directions

  • 1

    Cook pasta in lightly salted boiling water according to package directions; drain and return to pot.

  • 2

    Meanwhile, while pasta cooks, in a large saucepan, whisk together milk, flour, salt and onion powder until blended.* Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in cheese. Add cheese sauce to pasta; toss to mix and coat. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

notes

6 WW points make sure not to go overboard with the onion powder - it can very quickly make everything taste like onions.
