I never liked mac n cheese. So I typically just add less sauce on my noodles. Not the whole serving.

Answer by Michelle
Substitute fat free milk for the heavy cream and use margarine instead of butter, and a little less cheese than the recipe calls for. Add some chicken and veggies for extra taste and use less sauce. Also, if you use whole wheat fettuccini it is healthier!
Enjoy!
