  1. 1Cook the macaroni pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. 2In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the skimmed milk until it’s just about to simmer. Be cautious not to boil it.
  3. 3Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the light cream cheese, ensuring it melts evenly into the milk.
  4. 4Once the cream cheese is fully incorporated, add the fat- free cheddar cheese to the sauce. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce becomes smooth.
