Creamy Mac and Cheese
(1 Servings)What you’ll need
1 | 75 g elbow macaroni |
2 | 100 ml milk |
3 | 50 g grated cheddar cheese |
4 | 10 g butter |
5 | 1 clove garlic, minced |
6 | Salt, to taste |
7 | Pepper, to taste |
8 | A pinch of paprika (optional) |
How to make it
Cook the Pasta: In a small pot, bring about 500 ml of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Cheese Sauce: While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
Combine with Milk and Cheese: Pour in the milk and bring it to a gentle simmer. Gradually add the grated cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until it melts and forms a creamy sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika for an extra kick.
Mix It All Together: Once the pasta is cooked, drain it thoroughly and add it to the cheese sauce. Stir well to ensure every piece of macaroni is coated in that luscious, cheesy goodness.
Serve: Transfer your creamy mac and cheese into a bowl. You can sprinkle a little extra cheese or paprika on top for garnish if you like.
