2 tablespoons butter
1 cup cottage cheese (not lowfat)
2 cups milk (not skim)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Pinch cayenne

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my macaroni and cheese turned out dry and crumbly. Maybe I didn't add enough milk?

This macaroni and cheese was way too cheesy for my taste. It was like eating a block of cheddar.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not a huge fan of cottage cheese, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked in this recipe. It gave the macaroni and cheese a light and fluffy texture.
