1 1/2 tablespoons reduced calorie margarine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
3 cups nonfat milk
1 1/4 cups shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded reduced fat Swiss cheese
5 cups cooked elbow macaroni, cooked without salt or fat

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and mix well. Add milk and mix with wire whisk over low heat, stirring continuously. Add dry mustard and ground red pepper and cheeses, mix and continue to heat over low heat until cheese is melted.
