Diabetic Recipe 1

Directions:
Cook the macaroni according to the package directions, omitting salt; drain well.

While the macaroni is cooking, melt 1-tablespoon of the margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute the shallots until tender, about three minutes. Add the flour; cook and stir one minute. Add the milk; cook until the sauce thickens, about four minutes, stirring often.

Stir in the Cheddar cheese until melted. Add the cooked macaroni and mix well. Prepare a gratin dish or shallow ovenproof baking dish with nonstick pan spray. Transfer the macaroni and cheese to the dish. Preheat the broiler.

Melt the remaining margarine; combine it with the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over the macaroni.

Boil four to five-inches from the heat source until the top is lightly browned, about two minutes.

Recipe makes four servings (3-cups).
