Healthy, Easy, No Bake Mac N Cheese with Broccoli

Mmmmmm Mac N Cheese!  From elementary school to drunken college night...the one in the blue bog reigns supreme!  However, we're adults now...it's time to step UP our mac n cheese skills, and bring DOWN the calories.  This recipe totals to around 235 calories per every one cup serving...pretty amazing for such a comfort food right?  Here's what you'll need:

1 cup Whole wheat elbow macaroni noodles
1/3 cup skim milk
1/2 tbsp light cream cheese
1/4 C shredded cheddar
1/4 C shredded mozzarella
1/2 tbsp whole-wheat flower
pinch of salt and pepper
1/4 tsp mustard (whatever kind your like or have on hand)
2 C chopped broccoli (about 1/2 med head), steamed 

In medium saucepan, combine milk, cream cheese, flour, salt, and pepper. Cook over med-high heat, stirring, until mixture comes to a slow boil, 5-7 mins. Remove pan from heat stir in remaining cheeses & mustard until melted. In a bowl toss pasta w/ broccoli; pour cheese mixture over top; stir. Divide pasta among 2 bowls and serve. 
 So creamy, and SO GOOD!  Go ahead, feel like a kid again!
