Easy Weeknight Mac And Cheese 4 Ways Recipes
CREAMY WEEKNIGHT MACARONI AND CHEESE
Just as quick as the boxed variety, this creamy macaroni and cheese skirts the traditional butter and flour roux with assistance from cream cheese. While the cream cheese adds an important lusciousness, it doesn't do the macaroni and cheese any favors when it comes to its flavor, so it's important to use the sharpest, tangiest Cheddar you can get your hands on. For perfectly coated noodles, make sure to cook the pasta in the sauce for a minute or two.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water until just barely al dente; drain.
- Meanwhile, bring milk up to a simmer in a large pot. (The pot should be large enough to hold all the pasta when cooked.) Reduce heat to low, add cream cheese, and whisk until it's completely blended and no lumps remain. Add Cheddar cheese and butter, whisking until everything is completely melted. Season with salt and a generous amount of pepper.
- Add cooked pasta and stir to coat. Continue to cook over medium-low heat until the sauce has thickened and is coating each piece of pasta nicely, 2 to 3 minutes; sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Season again with more salt and pepper before serving.

- Fill a large pot with water and set it to high heat. Add some salt to the water, just a few dashes'll do ya. Bring that water to a boil.
- In a smaller pot, add the milk and flour and whisk it until dissolved. Just before the pot with water starts boiling, turn the heat to medium.
- Add the macaroni to the boiling water and cook as directed on the package (generally somewhere around 8-10 minutes). Stir occasionally.
- As the milk and flour mixture heats up, it will start to thicken. Be sure to stir it rather frequently, or it will form a skin on the top, and possibly burn, though I've yet to have that happen.
