My sister uses spaghetti squash with she cooks it and scrapes it out makes a pasta dish with alternating canned tomatoes and lo fat cheese. I suppose you could just add cheese to the hot spaghetti squash to make mac and cheese taste. The spaghetti is really good lo in carbs.

i don't think there really is one. anything with low fat fake cheese is hard on your system. this is a recipe that adds nutrients instead. i don't puree the veggies because i like the chunky stuff. this is for 51 servings.

2 gallon Water
3 ounce Flour, All Purpose
1-1/2 quart Milk, Lowfat, 2%
