This lightened-up family favourite uses non-fat cheeses and sour cream and boosts its flavour with a hint of Dijon mustard.

Ingredients

Uncooked whole wheat pasta

12 oz, elbow macaroni

Cold-pack American cheese food

4 oz

Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

4 oz

Fat free evaporated milk

¾ cup(s)

Fat free sour cream

¾ cup(s)

Dijon mustard

1 tbsp(s)

Ground nutmeg

tsp(s), or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 4-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
