We've got a '50s comfort food mixed with a today twist. What's the twist? Here's a hint...it's the salsa! You've gotta try our New Twist Macaroni and Cheese.
What You'll Need
- 1 pound uncooked elbow macaroni
- 1 (16-ounce) container reduced-fat sour cream
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup mild salsa
- 1/2 cup low-fat milk
- 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Parmesan cheese
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart casserole with cooking spray.
- Prepare macaroni according to package directions. Drain, rinse, and drain again; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine sour cream, egg whites, salsa, milk, mustard, salt, and pepper; mix well. Add Cheddar cheese and mix well. Add macaroni and toss until well mixed.
- Pour into prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese and bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Note
For a little added color, sprinkle on 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes along with the Parmesan.

Does this need to be baked or can I make a cheese sauce by adding some flour. It would probably be creamier without baking

I wouldn't think you'd want to eat raw egg whites however. It seems to me that baking would be necessary so that they're cooked.
