I used skim milk with no problem. I also added a 1/2 tsp of dry mustard powder and 1/8 tsp of black pepper. The consistency was a little grainy, but it smoothed out a bit by the time we had seconds. YUM! For those asking about how much pasta - it was half a box for me. I used Whole Wheat Barilla medium shells. FINALLY got around to making this and I am SO HAPPY! I used skim milk with no problem.

At first when I was reading this I thought "yeah but how does it taste?" because every single homemade recipe I've done, while I HAVE enjoyed, had a floury flavor that my kids picked up on immediately and refused to eat. I think I will have to try this out IMMEDIATELY! Love the simplicity of this!

Would I have leftovers, should I double the recipe? how much cooked pasta does this yield? would one recipe of it feed me, my hubby, my 7 year old, 4 year old and 2 year old?

I used more cheese than called for in the original recipe, and I think it needed more salt that I put in. I didn't use whole wheat pasta because I think the store-bought kind just tastes like cardboard. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the quinoa pasta was truly awesome. It's my first time making it at all, and it was so similar in taste and texture to regular semolina pasta, that I was thoroughly impressed. Very tasty.

I can't wait... Oh, and I'm just using regular pasta, ran out of whole wheat. I’m gonna try this for the first time, well, really the Cheeseburger Macaroni

Worked wonderfully. Serving with roasted zucchini and homemade breaded chicken strips baked in the oven with homemade BBQ sauce for dipping. Can't wait for dinner!
