Ever since childhood, I’ve been a fan of macaroni and
cheese. I don’t make macaroni and cheese often because if I make it, typically
only I will be eating it and normal box of macaroni and cheese makes 4
servings. I spotted this Kraft Macaroni
& Cheese Veggie Pasta and was intrigued because 1) it contains
vegetable pasta and 2) there are only 2 servings in the box, so I picked it up.
I boiled my pasta and when done I strained it and put it
back into the pan. Since I never put butter/margarine in my macaroni and
cheese, I gave it a few spritz of spray butter, dumped in the cheese packet and
added 2 tbsp of skim milk. I stirred it all up and found it actually
incorporated together a lot better than the original mac and cheese. It’s also
not as yellow/orangey as the original. Taste wise, I have to honestly say it is
better than the original. It’s not as sticky, it’s enjoyable, and it’s light
but filling with a protein alongside it. I enjoyed this so much I made sure to go back to
the store I found them at and pick up 2 boxes to have in the cabinet since this
isn’t sold everywhere.
A serving is 1 cup (half the box) and is 250 calories (that
is without the directed use of milk and butter) or 6 points plus values.
QUESTION:
What is your favorite macaroni and cheese?
