Best “mac and cheese” ever!

Posted by

“Mac and cheese” (or “macaroni and cheese”) is a very popular, easy recipe in the USA. Here is how to do it :

Ingredients :

– 2 cups pasta

– 2 cups milk

– 2 cups cheese

– salt and pepper

Directions :

1. Combine 2 cups of pasta with 2 cups milk.

2. Simmer until noodles are cooked to your preference STIRRING OFTEN!

3. Do not drain the pasta! Add in 2 cups of cheddar cheese (and salt and pepper) to the pasta and milk mixture, and stir until it’s all melted.
See how easy that was???? And it’s sooo tasty and creamy! You could, of course, use different kinds of cheese and pastas, but the recipe is very simple. It’s really creamy because you cook the pasta in the milk.
