- Hey, everybody, it's Bobby here
0:02
and I've got another great recipe for you today.
0:03
This one comes courtesy of me.
0:06
This is from my book,
0:08
"From Mama's Table to Mine."
0:11
Great book, I have really good memories of it.
0:12
This was number one on the New York Times bestseller list
0:16
I'm very, very proud of that book.
0:18
And here we are all these years later
0:21
and it still is great.
0:23
So we're doing a, yes you can mac and cheese.
0:25
It's a non bake mac and cheese,
0:27
it's all gonna be right here in this pot,
0:29
and it's gonna be low-fat,
0:31
"From Mama's Table To Mine,"
0:32
the premise of the whole book was 350 calories or less,
0:35
all the recipes were,
0:37
and they were all really tasty.
0:38
So you'll see as we go
0:40
that everything's reduced fat
0:42
and I hope you like it.
0:44
So through the magic of television,
0:47
we've already cooked the pasta.
0:49
But I've got the pasta pot back on the stove
0:51
and to that, we're gonna add some butter.
0:53
Yes, you'll see that it's only a small amount of butter,
0:56
my mom would not be proud
0:58
so we won't invite her in here to look.
1:01
And a little bit of flour.
1:07
And we'll whisk this together
1:09
and then we'll add our,
1:13
dare I say it, skim milk.
1:15
Once again, we won't talk to mom about it.
1:19
Maybe we should just serve this to her and (chuckles),
1:22
no, that's a risk (chuckles).
1:29
That's New York Times best seller,
1:30
that's what it is, mama.
1:32
So too bad, we'll add the whisk,
1:33
my pot was already hot,
1:35
so I'm gonna go ahead and add the milk.
1:41
- [Theresa] Bobby, just so you know, in the recipe,
1:43
it does say elbow macaroni.
1:45
- Mm, oh, and we've got. - But,
1:48
I did rotini because it wasn't available,
1:51
or whole wheat wasn't available in-
1:55
- Yup, so Theresa just said that the original recipe
1:58
calls for elbow macaroni,
1:59
and that's not what we did here,
2:02
but it'll work out just as well.
2:08
and we'll keep an eye on this until it thickens.
2:12
So that should give us time right now
2:13
to take one break and we'll come right back.
2:17
So our pot's beginning to thicken,
2:18
our skimmed milk and well,
2:20
there's butter, flour,
2:22
and we added some skimmed milk,
2:24
and it's starting to get just the right amount of thickness.
2:26
Now, to that, I'm gonna add our cheese.
2:30
- You are. - Yeah, you-
2:31
- So this is a low fat cheddar.
2:37
- [Theresa] She was all too-
2:38
- Parmesan. - Together, good Lord.
2:51
Give that a stir and get,
2:52
yeah, that's gonna quickly get perfect.
3:04
and quickly starting to thicken, that's beautiful.
3:10
Now, this is such a simple dish
3:14
and it's gonna be a little bit colorless.
3:18
you could add some pimentos to this,
3:20
this has got sort of the same feel and flavor
3:23
of a good pimento cheese,
3:24
I make a really good pimento cheese too,
3:26
if I do say so myself.
3:27
The pinto cheese, egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad,
3:31
I make all those really well.
3:34
But this kind of is reminiscent of the pimento cheese.
3:38
So if you wanted to add some pimentos to this, you could,
3:41
give it a little pop of color.
3:43
Our cheeses have melted down.
3:51
So to that, I'm gonna add a little bit of mustard powder.
4:01
About a half teaspoon of Worcester.
4:13
And we're at a little bit of a simmer,
4:14
we're still getting a little bit of a bubble in this.
4:20
So my pot is still hot,
4:26
super fragrant, that smells really good.
4:31
And it's just the right amount of thickness.
4:36
And again, this is a no bake
4:39
Yes you can mac and cheese.
4:46
I'm gonna go ahead and turn my eye off
4:49
and add the pasta back into our cheese sauce.
4:56
- [Theresa] Well if I leave it in.
5:21
Oh man, that looks so good.
5:24
This smells great too.
5:25
I think the whole family's gonna like this one,
5:29
even Paula Deen might like that.
5:33
I'll just keep it to myself
5:34
that it's a low fat version of everything.
5:39
Oh, that's nice and creamy thick.
5:47
Maybe you can get a look at that.
5:48
Yeah, I'm just gonna toss and coat all that pasta
5:52
in that wonderful, wonderful sauce.
6:06
Just a little bit of pepper.
6:16
Yeah, and it could really do for some pimentos,
6:22
like I said, would look really nice in this.
6:30
That looks so, so good.
6:40
I'm gonna use my little
6:44
side dish here to taste her.
6:50
Yes, you can mac and cheese,
6:51
yes you can Paula Deen,
6:52
you can do it like this.
7:03
Even though it's low fat everything,
7:05
it's super satisfying.
7:07
And even though we used a different pasta,
7:10
I think my kids would eat this too.
7:13
Hmm, really, really good.
7:16
It only would do from a little bit of salt.
7:23
Really, really, really good.
7:25
Simple mac and cheese, old book.
7:30
Maybe even before that.
7:42
Voila, there you have it.
7:45
Yes you can mac and cheese.
7:50
