Creamy Stove Top Rotini And Cheese


This is a quick and easy way to avoid the box mac and cheese. I found this recipe in a cooking light magazine and really liked it. I did substitute wheat flour and wheat pasta rather than regular macaroni and white flour.

Steps


Cook pasta according to package directions , omitting salt and fat.
Drain and set aside.
While pasta cook , place wheat flour , salt , and pepper in a large saucepan.
Add milk , stirring with a whisk until well blended.
Drop cream cheese by teaspoonfuls into milk mixture.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat , stirring constantly.
Reduce heat.
Simmer 2 minutes or until thick and cream cheese melts , stirring occasionally.
Stir in mustard , worcestershire sauce , and garlic.
Simmer 1 minute.
Remove from heat.
Add cheddar cheese , stirring until cheese melts.
Combine pasta and cheese sauce in a large bowl.
Toss well.
