Add a photoGet ready to make the most amazing mac and cheese, skinny or not!!! I love this dish so much and could hardly wait to share it with you! This casserole is so over the top rich and is completely vegetarian. Using a store bough container of light Alfredo sauce transforms ordinary mac and cheese into extraordinary! To make it super cheesy and keep it skinny, I’m adding fat-free cottage cheese to the sauce and topping the casserole with a small amount of reduced-fat mozzarella. The skinny for 1 serving, 293 calories, 9 grams of fat and 7 Weight Watchers Points PLUS. Great to make for the family and truly fabulous to impress company. I can’t wait for you to try it!

Инструкции
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat a 9Ã9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. You can use glass or metal.
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Cook only for 6 minutes so it will not be overcooked. No need to add salt to water! Drain and rinse in cold water. Drain again.
- In a large bowl, whisk together Alfredo sauce, drained spinach, cottage cheese, milk, butter and garlic. Add pasta and mix really well. Blend in egg, basil, salt and pepper. Be sure itâs all mixed together well.
- Transfer pasta to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top evenly with mozzarella cheese
- Bake casserole 25 minutes until golden brown. Let casserole rest for 10 minutes. Cut into 6 serving. This casserole freeze great!
- Shopping Tip-Use Buitoni Light Alfredo Sauce, if possible. It comes in a 10 ounce container and can be found in most supermarkets in the refrigerator section, where fresh pasta and sauces are displayed. If you canât find it, there are several brands of jarred light Alfredo sauces in the pasta aisle. They come in a larger, 15 ounce jar, so youâll have some leftover.
