Buffalo Mac and Cheese

Low calorie, buffalo mac and cheese, the is so easy to make, so cheesy, and delicious! This recipe uses frozen veggie pasta, so all you are going to need is a microwave and an appetite!

This recipe goes way back for me, this was one of the first recipes I religiously followed when I first started macro tracking because it is just simply amazing and cheesy, but it is also so easy!

It is super macro friendly because the pasta is made out of zucchini and lentils and when I saw it in the frozen section I knew I had to try it! I have tried a lot of the Birdseye pastas, and they are ALL good but this one is hands down my favorite!

All you have to do is microwave the bag and it steams the pasta making it cheesy and good. I always split the package because the nutrition states that 111 grams frozen is the serving size but I am not going to open the package and weigh it because then the bag would no longer be able to steam it.. that being said I just log half of entire package.

I love adding the cream cheese and extra cheese because you can never have enough cheese in my opinion, and if you want to give it more of a buffalo mac feel the cream cheese really helps.

I add the ground turkey for more protein, but you can also add chicken.. or really any protein you want or none at all!

After I add the cheeses and protein I microwave it all for a little bit longer and stir it, then I add hot sauce, depending on the day I will add a lot or a little… up to you:)

I like having a salad on the side of this for more veggies, and it is also good with Joseph’s Mini Pitas warmed up and then you can dip it in the extra cheese sauce :). Now this post is really making me want this meal and I have a package sitting in my freezer…. def making this for dinner ASAP!

I hope you all like this recipe as much as I do, please tag me if ya try!!
