Stovetop Mac & Cheese
With 4 ingredients, and a few minutes you can have this super easy macaroni and cheese on your table in no time!
My favorite part about this super simple mac & cheese recipe is you can personalize it by using different cheeses, spices, or sauces (add a splash of Sriracha if you love heat).
ingredients
1 pound small shell pasta
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
kosher salt
freshly cracked pepper, to taste
let’s make this
Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water and add a couple large pinches (about 2 tablespoons) of salt. Cook pasta until al dente.
Meanwhile, heat the cream in a heavy saucepan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it just begins to bubble. Stir in cheddar and parmesan and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook stirring often, until the cheese has melted, 5-7 minutes.
Drain the pasta and add to the saucepan. Stir until combined.
NOTES: Don’t forget to try customizing the recipe to your tastes. Try different cheeses (I’ve used a habanero cheddar and that was amazing). Add some garlic for a garlic mac & cheese. Looking for heat, a couple splashes of Sriracha should do the trick.
