Ingredients

12 ounces Morningstar Farms Recipe Crumbles

1 cup chopped onion

8 ounces tomato paste

2 cups cooked macaroni

cup fat-free parmesan cheese

teaspoon cinnamon

teaspoon nutmeg

cup skim milk

2 tablespoons margarine

4 eggs lightly beaten

minced parsley for garnish

Preparation

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot.

Saute protein crumbles and onion until onion is tender, 5 - 8 minutes.

Stir in tomato paste and water; cook 2 - 3 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon half the macaroni into a 9" x 13" x 2" baking pan; spoon protein crumbles mixture over macaroni. Combine cheese and spices; sprinkle over casserole. Spoon remaining macaroni over the top.

Heat milk and margarine in medium saucepan, stirring until margarine is melted. Whisk about half the mixture into the eggs; wish egg mixture back into milk. Pour over macaroni.

Bake, uncovered, until casserole is bubbly, about 50 - 60 minutes.

Sprinkle with parsley.
