I've found a lot of yummy recipes on here.I have a new found love for spaghetti squash due to this!

one question: What do you use for a low fat cheese that melts? What can you suggest for a low fat cheese that melts?

I'd like to try to make a sort of spaghetti squash mac and cheese or alfredo but find a lot of the lower fat or non fat cheeses will not do the trick.

Thanks in advance

    I use non fat, and it melts fine. Kraft no fat cheese.

    Cheese :heart: I like low-fat monterey jack and mozzerella. They melt nicely and are creamy. Here's a link with some suggestions:

    Not really cheese that melts but thought I'd share -- I just used regular cheese but use less of it. I often used .5 ounces of shredded sharp cheddar in eggs, quesadillas, etc. I also like Parmesan cheese slices on apples. Delish!

    Cabot 75% FF sharp chedder, It tastes great and melts nicely. The only bad thing is that it only comes in the one flavor.
