Recipe : Macaroni and Cheese

Makes 4 servings

This is super-cheesy, simple, rich and oh-so-good. Extra-sharp cheddar gives you the
most flavor with a smaller amount of cheese. Adding it in batches and stirring it
continuously ensures a smooth, creamy sauce. You'll never use a packaged mix again!

1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
1 cup low-fat (1%) milk
1/2 onion, grated
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch grated nutmeg
1 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 tomato, diced
1 tablespoon chopped basil

Preheat the oven to 350o F. Cook the macaroni according to package directions.
Drain and keep warm.
In a large saucepan, bring the milk, onion, flour, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper and
nutmeg to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Stir in
the cheese in batches until it's melted and the sauce is smooth; stir in the
macaroni, tomato and basil.
Transfer the mixture to a shallow 1-quart casserole. Bake until golden, 35-40
minutes; cool slightly before serving.
