Hearty Healthy Mac and Cheese image

Usually when I hear "healthy" I run in the opposite direction, especially when combined with something like mac and cheese, but this recipe was delicious. It was flavorful and creamy and didn't taste like any flavor had been sacrificed in the name of making it healthy. Healthy doesn't have to mean bland! This recipe is a keeper.

8 ounce(s) low fat cottage cheese
2 cup(s) low fat sharp cheddar cheese
1 small onion
3 clove(s) garlic

1 package(s) whole grain macaroni
1 tablespoon(s) garlic salt
3 tablespoon(s) paprika

  • Pour macaroni mixture into greased baking pan and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes until top is golden brown and insides are bubbly. Serves 6.
