Low-fat, no carb Macaroni and Cheese

-2 Packages of Tofu Shirataki fettuccini or tube noodles
-1/4 cup or less of skim milk
-2 slices Trader Joe's organic american cheese 
-1 tsp. butter

-Wash the shirataki in a colander in water thoroughly, then pat dry with a paper towel thoroughly, then place in a bowl and microwave for 4 min.
-Then in a pan, place the shirataki in 1 tbsp of olive oil and stir around the pan
-let the noodles "dry out" in the pan a bit, stirring constantly as the water steams out of them
-In a separate pan on low heat melt the butter, milk and cheese together by putting them all in and stirring at a medium pace until it becomes a cheese sauce.  Let it get a little thick by continuing to stir over the heat for a few minutes.
-Toss the dry tofu noodles into the cheese sauce and stir until it looks like the consistency you want it.
-add a little fresh black pepper if you want!
