Baked Mac & Cheese

Ingredients:

3 Tbs. plain dry breadcrumbs
1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp. paprika
1 16 oz. or 10 oz. package frozen spinach, thawed
1 3/4 c. low-fat milk, divided
3 Tbs. all-purpose flour
2 c. shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1 c. low-fat cottage cheese
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
8 ounces (2 cups) dry whole-wheat elbow macaroni, or penne

Preparation:
  1. Put a large pot of water on to boil. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat an 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Mix breadcrumbs, oil and paprika in a small bowl. Place spinach in a fine-mesh strainer and press out excess moisture.
  3. Heat 1 1/2 c. milk in a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until steaming. Whisk remaining 1/4 c. milk and flour in a small bowl until smooth; add to the hot milk and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce simmers and thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Remove mixture from heat and stir in Cheddar until melted. Stir in cottage cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  5. Cook pasta for 4 minutes, or until not quite tender. (It will continue to cook during baking). Drain and add to the cheese sauce; mix well.
  6. Spread half the pasta mixture in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the spinach on top. Top with the remaining pasta; sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture.
  7. Bake the casserole until bubbly and golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
