Ingredients

2 1/2 uncooked cups whole wheat spiral noodles
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
2 cups frozen/fresh broccoli
1 cup fat free milk
3 ounces light cheddar cheese, shredded
3 ounces light swiss cheese, shredded
2 tbs flour
1 tbs I can’t believe it’s not butter, melted
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Cook the pasta following the package directions. Cook the beef in a skillet and drain well. Microwave the broccoli until tender.

Meanwhile in a medium sauce pan, add the flour and slowly add the milk to form a paste, using whisk. Make sure you get out all the lumps. Keep stirring over medium heat and add both cheeses. Stir until creamy and slightly thickens.

Add butter to cooked spiral noodles. Then add all ingredients together and mix well. Serve immediately.

This recipe turned out exceptionally well.
