If you read this blog regularly, you will know that while I like my sweets, I try to keep my meals healthy. This led me to search for a low fat recipe for macaroni cheese as a side to serve with dinner while my mother was staying with me.
I found this recipe for low fat macaroni cheese on Taste.com. The recipe calls for bacon and parsley, which I left out, but I otherwise followed the recipe. It was quick and easy to make, and sliced easily into convenient squares for serving.
This macaroni cheese was pretty good, but lacked a little oomph flavour wise. Perhaps a sharper cheese or a dash of chilli or paprika would remedy this. However, I would make this again.
Hey Cakelaw! Have you tried adding pureed pumpkin to your mac and cheese? It's creamy and adds more vegetables to it too! :D
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea.
Deletenice idea for a side dish - I sometimes add a bit of mustard or mustard powder for extra flavour too when making cheese sauce
ReplyDeleteOoh, that would be good too - or curry powder.
DeleteSounds like a great mac and cheese recipe. I'd spice it up a little too. ☺
ReplyDeleteEllie Krieger has a Mac and cheese with squash. America's test kitchen has comfort food make overs which includes Mac and cheese. That recipe has dry mustard and pinch of cayenne. I feel like making Mac and cheese😀
