1 pkg House food tofu shirataki noodles (macaroni shaped) (40cal)
2 Tbsp Kraft grated cheddar cheese (looks like Parmesan but is cheddar) (35 cal)

Rince noodles and then pan fry in a bit of water, after a few minutes add the cheese and let simmer until not watery anymore. Add pepper to taste.

I experimented with this today and it was actually pretty good! Not as good as real mac and cheese of course but great if you need something low in calories and takes less than 10min. You could even adjust the amount of cheese to suit you.

    The cheese doesn't get weird from the excess water? I've put them in a dry pan many times but they always still remain a little wet.

    Thanks for the idea! I wonder how Velveeta (gasp!) would work with them.

    I got mine at Metro.

    The extra water/cheese mixture boiled down and the noodles were dry. (prob put about 2 tbsp of water in the pan)

    OMG! I can add this to my recipe book next to cauliflower mac & cheese!*














    *loljk! I by no means endorse giving up on mac and cheese. I'm pretty sure that's one of the ten commandments. "Thou shalt not replace macaroni and cheese with ridiculousness - however, macaroni and cheese can be made better with the addition of bacon." Or something like that.

    What a coincidence!

    I had a half serving of Kraft mac & cheese tonight with dinner...

    ...the kind that comes in a box and the cheese is powder...




    ...you know, like God intended.

    Wow that sounds soooo good.... :noway:


    I found this other mac & cheese recipe that has Ritz crackers and is only 320 calories per serving.

    Cauliflower and cheese was a staple of my childhood...not because my parents were trying to find a low-carb alternative to mac & cheese, but because they had to figure out a way to get me to eat some veggies. Broccoli and cheese too (but just the tree tops...none of those nasty stalks...probably because the tree tops did a better job of holding more cheese).


    Great. Now I want cauliflower and cheese...and broccoli and cheese.

    Though we all know original mac and cheese is the best, variations are also interesting and can be fun to experiment with! Thanks!
