This was my first time making the mac & cheese above. I saw it on the Today Show and the ingredients are extremely loose. It’s very good and very light for mac & cheese, so I thought I’d share it with you.

Basically you’ve got the following ingredients in this order. Use your own judgement on quantities.  After making it once, mine needs some tweaking on quantities but I think I’ll definitely be making it again. Also, for those of us managing our time...ahem... a very quick dinner!

Macaroni noodles {I used small penne pasta this time, but I think macaroni would be best}

Boil  noodles, strain and add 1 raw egg to the hot noodles. This is like a carbonara effect.

Add parmesan cheese, quantity to your liking, and toss together

Spread plain Greek yogurt on a plate, quantity to your liking

Add noodles on top of yogurt, add a little salt and pepper if you like and ENJOY!
