Mac and Cheese I

Read Reviews (2)

"My family loves Macaroni and Cheese! But being so high in fat, I felt I needed to come up with something a little less "fatty" and good tasting too. I also use cooked spaghetti squash in place of the pasta sometimes." — AMY BARTHELEMY

Directions

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
In a food processor, blend cottage cheese until smooth.
In large bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg white, sweetener, cheese food, buttermilk and liquid smoke until well mixed. Stir in pasta. Pour into prepared dish. Top with crushed crackers.
Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 30 minutes.

Why all the flavoring? Why cottage cheese? This makes a dish that that you bake to get rid of the germs from the egg? Make it simple, noodles and cheese melted in the microwave. Or Craft Dinner. All the same. (Choice 1 is healthier)(Rating because of ingredients.)

I've tried a similar recipe didn't need an egg. Did use some shredded cheddar nothing processed no flour. The cottage cheese was low fat had onions and other veggies in it and the POINT of this recipe is it's healthy. People need to look at the nutritional analysis of meals.
