     Lightened Up Mac n Cheese

Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   4
Preptime   25 min

Ingredients
Salt
12 oz fusilli or corkscrew pasta
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 cup skim milk
1/3 cp low fat sour cream
2/3 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
 
2/3 cup shredded low fat swiss cheese
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Pepper
1/4 cup chopped parsley, basil and or chives

Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta. Add the butter to the empty pot and melt over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and mustard powder and cook, stirring, until the flour begins to toast, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and the reserved cooking water; cook, whisking, until thick, about 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium. Whisk in the sour cream, mozzarella, Swiss cheese and 1 tablespoon parmesan; continue whisking until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the pasta, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Preheat the broiler. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan, the herbs, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pasta. Broil until golden and bubbly, about 2 minutes.
