Creamy Macaroni & Cheese

Ingredients

Serves:

12 oz oz uncooked wagon wheels, medium shells, elbow macaroni or other medium pasta shape

2 cups cups frozen chopped collard greens (see Tip)

1 1/2 Tbsp stick butter or margarine

3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs (see Note)

1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

3 cups whole milk

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups (6 oz) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

1/4 tsp each salt and paprika

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and greens, and cook 10 to 12 minutes or until pasta and greens are tender; drain and return to pot.

While pasta and greens cook, melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add bread crumbs and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, 3 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove to a small bowl; stir in Parmesan cheese.

In same saucepan, whisk milk and flour until blended. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, whisking often. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add Cheddar cheese, salt and paprika. Stir over medium heat until cheese melts.

Add to pasta and greens in pot; toss to coat. Top servings with toasted crumbs
