Healthified Mac and Cheese

I'm trying to "healthify" a lot of our favorite recipes. This is your standard homemade mac and cheese recipe, using whole wheat pasta and the addition of carrot puree for nutrition.

1 box whole wheat pasta
3 T butter
3 T flour
2 cups nonfat milk
2 cups shredded lowfat cheddar cheese
1 cup carrot puree
salt, pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to package directions. With remaining ingredients, except carrot puree, make a cheese sauce. Pour sauce and carrot puree over pasta, stir to combine. 8 servings
