Description
A less-guilty version of homemade mac and cheese, swapping white pasta with brown rice pasta, butter with Earth Balance brand spread, and whole milk with skim milk.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brown Rice Macaroni (I Use Trader Joe’s)
- ¼ cups Earth Balance Original Spread
- 1 cup Skim Milk
- ½ cups Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 cups Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
Preparation
Boil brown rice pasta according to directions.
In a large, deep skillet, melt Earth Balance on medium-high heat. Slowly stir in milk and cream. When milk, cream, and butter start to slowly bubble, turn heat down to medium and slowly add cheeses, 1/2 cup at a time. Stir until mixture thickens. If it seems too thin, add more cream or cheese to desired consistency. Season with salt, garlic, and black pepper.
Drain pasta and dump into cheesy mixture. Stir pasta into the cheese thoroughly, so that cheese seeps into all of the crevices. Enjoy!
