Makes 4 servings of 2 ouces of pasta
4 quarts water
8 ounces penne pasta
1/2 of a 4 ounce carton egg substitute
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 cup 1% milk
5 ounces reduced-fat cheddar cheese (grated)
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Place water in a medium stock-pot over high heat burner and bring to a rapid boil. Add pasta and cook until done. Do not overcook.
While pasta is cooking, combine egg substitute, cornstarch, 1 % milk, reduced-fat cheddar cheese and salt in a small microwave safe mixing bowl.
Place the mixing bowl in the microwave and heat on high in 30-second intervals until hot. Whisk with a fork after each interval. Do not allow the mixture to get hot enough to boil.
When the pasta is done, drain well and return it to the pot. Add the cheese mixture and mix well until the cheese is completely melted and creamy.
Add fresh ground black pepper to taste and serve immediately.
