3.10.06 ( 9:35 PM ) Beth A long overdue Macaroni and Cheese recipe. (Not to be disregarded simply because it's an unexciting dish, by the way -- I'd say it's got more of a kick than your average mac and cheese, and it's also healthier than the boxed variety.) Ingredients: 2 cups uncooked macaroni 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (low fat, if you're so inclined) 1/4 cup plain yogurt (nonfat, if you're so inclined) 2 teaspoons butter 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard salt and pepper to taste Directions: 1. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the macaroni and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. 2. While the pasta is cooking, mix together the cheese and yogurt in a bowl. 3. When the pasta is done, drain and set aside. Put the pot back on the stove (I'd recommending rinsing it in cool water first, if you want to decrease the risk of scorching anything) and melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked macaroni, tossing to coat. Mix in the cheese and yogurt. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted.
