Pumpkin Mac and Cheese

A big bowl of hot, cheesy carbs. How can macaroni and cheese ever be good for you? This delicious recipe turns everyone's favorite fattening comfort food into healthy comfort food. Made with whole wheat pasta and pumpkin puree, Pumpkin Mac and Cheese actually has nutritional value. Using canned pumpkin instead of cream is a good way to slash calories and fat because it has a ton of flavor and fiber, but a half of a cup only contains about 40 calories. Because pumpkin is naturally so sweet, this dish still maintains the richness of regular mac and cheese. All in all, this is the healthiest mac and cheese you can dig into without losing its great taste.
