Lightened-up Macaroni and Cheese

Coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Cook whole wheat macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Stir 1 tablespoon evaporated milk and tapioca together in a saucepan.

Whisk in remaining milk.

Stir in Cheddar cheese, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper.

Bring to a simmer and stir until the sauce thickens a bit and cheese is completely melted.

Drain pasta and stir into the sauce.

Spoon into the prepared baking dish.

Cook under the broiler until top browns, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
