Ingredients

12 oz Uncooked macaroni, elbow-type

1/2 cup Fat-free sour cream

12 oz Fat-free evaporated milk

8 oz Low-fat cheddar or colby cheese, shredded

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1/4 tsp Table salt

1/4 tsp Black pepper

1/8 tsp Ground nutmeg

2 tbsp Dried bread crumbs

2 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Cook pasta according to package directions without added fat or salt; drain and transfer to a large bowl. While pasta is still hot, stir in sour cream; set aside.

Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear just around the edges (known as scalding). Reduce heat to low, add cheese and simmer until cheese melts, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, about 2 minutes; remove from heat and stir in mustard, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Add cheese mixture to pasta; mix well. Transfer to a 3-quart casserole dish.

Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over pasta.

Bake until top is golden, about 30 minutes. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
