Ingredients

• 8 oz whole-wheat macaroni
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp + 2 tsp all-purpose flour
• 1-1/2 C fat-free milk
• 1 C shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1 Tbsp plain dried bread crumbs
• 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook the macaroni according to package directions; drain.

2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk. Increase the heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the cheddar, salt, and pepper, whisking until the cheese is melted. Add the pasta to the cheese sauce, stirring to coat.

3. Preheat the broiler.

4. Stir the bread crumbs and Parmesan together in a small bowl; sprinkle over the macaroni and cheese in the skillet. Broil 5 inches from the heat source, until the crumbs are browned, about 1 minute.
