Hey, I'm a bit late to the macaroni party, but I made one from skinnytaste.com a while back, which was delicious and was 7PP for 1 cup. I don't know what it was in grams. I had it with homemade chicken nuggets so one cup was enough for me.
It was great though, really nice and creamy. There's loads of yum recipes on that website, well worth a look.
