 Hello, MrsBuckeye

i trying to make the macaroni and cheese but i got lost about the thin white sauce i need to know what kind of white sauce it is and can i make my own sauce and what the ingredients for the sauce 

Thank You  

 Thank you Mrs. Buckeye.  I just made the mac and cheese with broccoli from the alli dinner menu and it took an awful lot of tweaking.  It calls for uncooked whole wheat rotini added to the thin white sauce. It took forever to cook the pasta and I had to keep adding more liquid.  Onion alone wasn't tasty enough so I added garlic to the onion.

I'm all for trying something once exactly as it is written, but this Alli mac and cheese was really bad.

Does WW have a recipe for thin white sauce?  To answer the other post, I made a triple batch as the family was going to eat this as well.  I followed the Alli proportions for green onion, olive oil and flour.  Added two cloves of garlic.  I put in 16 oz of 1% milk, but then found I had to add about 2 more cups of liquid to get the pasta to cook with this method.  Of course, by doing it this way, all of that starch stayed in the dish.  It wasn't very pretty.

Much better I think to follow the WW method and cook the pasta in plenty of boiling water first.  Make the white sauce.  Put the cooked macaroni into the wite sauce, and then add low fat cheese.

If you want to then bake or broil the top for a few minutes, it's for effect to get that brown crunchy top.
