Calcium-packed macaroni and cheese is even better when it's low in fat. This recipe has 70 percent less fat than the traditional version.

Ingredients

1-1/3 cups dried corkscrew pasta or elbow macaroni (about 5 ounces)

1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
