I am wondering if anyone has the Mac and cheese recipe from Prevention Magazine. The recipe has whole wheat pasta and cottage cheese, I lost the recipe and would love to make it again.

    Mac and cheese is one of those foods that I'm having a really hard time letting go of! I'm embarrassed to admit that I used to eat it about twice a week. I've been looking for a healthier recipe!
