    Ok I fixed it! Here's what I use!

    Cheese; Kraft singles American
    1/2 of a slice
    30 cals
    2g fat
    7.5 cholesterol
    100 sodium
    1 carb
    0 fiber
    0.5 sugar
    1.5 protein


    Noodles! Ronzoni smart taste elbow noodles;
    1/2 cup

    180 cals
    0.5 fat
    0 cholesterol
    5 sodium
    43 carbs
    5 fiber
    1 sugar
    6 protein


    Butter- country crock light
    1/2 tbsp

    25 cal
    45 sodium
    2.5 fat
    0 carb
    0 protein
    0 cholesterol

    Yikes. Kraft Singles are not cheese, and Country Crock is not butter.

    This recipe does the butternut squash and cauliflower things and is very simple. I don't believe in low fat milk, so I sub 2.5 cups whole milk and a cup of ricotta cheese for the 4 cups low fat milk. I've also dumped some spinach in.

    Don't cook the pasta all the way or even al dente, because it will be too mushy after you bake it. Cook it a little less than al dente.
