Ingredients
-
cooking spray
-
6 ounces whole wheat elbow macaroni
-
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated skim milk, divided
-
1 teaspoon tapioca starch
-
5 ounces low-fat sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
-
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, or more to taste
-
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Directions
-
Coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook whole wheat macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
-
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
-
Stir 1 tablespoon evaporated milk and tapioca together in a saucepan. Whisk in remaining milk. Stir in Cheddar cheese, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and stir until the sauce thickens a bit and cheese is completely melted. Drain pasta and stir into the sauce. Spoon into the prepared baking dish.
-
Cook under the broiler until top browns, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Cook's Notes:
If sauce seems too thick, add 1 tablespoon evaporated milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
You can use any small pasta instead of elbow macaroni.
