OK, it's still high sodium, but you can't have everything.
8 oz Velveeta light
8 oz fat free shredded cheddar
1/4 cup low fat (or fat free if you can find it) parmesan cheese
3/4 cup skim milk
1 pound of your favorite pasta shape
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain. Add the milk and cheeses. You can melt everything on the stove or put it in a microwave safe dish and nuke it for about 5 minutes. Serves 8 (main dish size servings). My sister says the secret is the Velveeta. She calls it the universal solvent.
