LowCarb Macaroni And Cheese. This is a no messin around real deal lowcarb Macaroni and Cheese with real low carb pasta. You will need a recipe of low carb Spaetzle as your pasta and this should yield about 3 cups. This is a super easy recipe to make including the Spaetzle. If you want to gild your lily put a recipe of Au Gratin Casserole Topping on top. This will add 1.5g net carbs per serving.
I use Gruyere cheese in mine but of course any good cheddar, Swiss or combination of cheeses will work. If you can’t tell from some of my other recipes; Gruyere is definitely my cheese of choice. My husband says I use too much of it (and yes, it is expensive) and I have to keep telling him to get over it. I also happen to like a really creamy mac & cheese and if you don’t then use ½ C less cream. Sprinkle some crumbled bacon on and Ooh La La. This is extremely filling due to its high fat content.

- This is how I do it if I'm heating it later. I microwave everything on low until just warm. This way the cheese does not curdle and it takes far less time to cook overall.
- OK, now you can mess around a bit. You can add tuna or anything you want before you begin heating this dish and it will probably take an extra ¼ C of cream.
- If you like a crustier mac & cheese save some cheese for topping.
- Recipe easily doubles or triples.
