Everyday Macaroni and Cheese
Serves 5
15 minutes preparation time
45 minutes baking time
3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan
3 tablespoons bread crumbs
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 pound cottage cheese
1 medium shallot, minced (1-2 tablespoons)
6 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 pound macaroni
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix the parmesan and bread crumbs and set aside. Pour the milk and cottage cheese into a large bowl and blend them with a hand blender. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl with the milk mixture and mix it well to be sure that the macaroni is well integrated. Pour the mixture into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking pan and sprinkle the parmesan-bread crumb mixture over the top. Cook for approximately 45 minutes, until the top begins to brown.
