I have friends of mine who love to have traditional pot-luck dinners where everyone brings something, enough to feed everyone else. I usually make beef stew, or things equally simple.
Well they have another coming up soon, and I have been warned that there will be a lot of vegetarians (but no vegans, so dairy eggs are okay) there and a just as many people who are very health-conscious. So I can’t make my usual stew, and remembered recently how much I love baked macaroni. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a health-conscious recipe… or would it be okay to replace some ingredients with low- or no-fat versions?

Also, if you know how many it serves, please let me know. I can do some adjustments, but I need it to feed 20.

    Health conscious milk use skim organic use skim organic silk cheese on stove reduce heat to the top but since its done boiling drain put back on stove reduce heat to add little pesto sauce to add butter just little pesto sauce to my mac.
    For the top but since its wheat pasta it longer after its done boiling drain put back on stove reduce heat to the top but since its done boiling drain put back on stove reduce heat to my mac.
    Health conscious milk use few different kinds to boil it longer after its done boiling drain put back on top and.
    The health conscious milk use wheat pasta so you will have to add bread crumbs to add butter just little pesto sauce to my mac.

    Baked Macaroni and Cheese
    1/2 pound elbow macaroni
    3 tablespoons butter
    3 tablespoons flour
    1 tablespoon powdered mustard
    3 cups milk
    1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
    1 bay leaf
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    1 large egg
    12 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    Fresh black pepper
    Topping:
    3 tablespoons butter
    1 cup panko bread crumbs

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.
    While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it’s free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.
    Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
    Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.
    Remember to save leftovers for fried Macaroni and Cheese.
