Creamy Mac and Cheese
(1 Servings)What you’ll need
1 | 75 g elbow macaroni |
2 | 200 ml water |
3 | 50 g sharp cheddar cheese, grated |
4 | 20 g cream cheese |
5 | 1 tbsp unsalted butter |
6 | 1/4 tsp garlic powder |
7 | Salt and pepper, to taste |
8 | A sprinkle of paprika (optional, for garnish) |
How to make it
Cook the Pasta: In a small saucepan, bring 200 ml of water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni along with a pinch of salt. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Cheese Sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and return it to the saucepan. Lower the heat to medium. Add the butter, sharp cheddar cheese, and cream cheese into the pasta. Stir gently until the cheeses melt, creating a luscious, creamy sauce.
Season Your Dish: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly so that every macaroni is coated in that velvety cheese goodness.
Serve: Transfer your delicious mac and cheese into a bowl. If you're feeling fancy, finish it off with a sprinkle of paprika for a touch of color and a hint of warmth.
Chef’s secrets
For a crunchy topping, consider adding some breadcrumbs and popping it under the broiler for a few minutes!
Feel free to mix in some cooked veggies or proteins like chicken or broccoli to make it a heartier meal.
