3 Ingredient Mac n Cheese or Alfredo
I cant stand the bland taste of premade sauces, so i always make from scratch. Costs about the same, but loaded with tons of quality flavor!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Gather ingredients. Shown is for Mac n Cheese. *Use parmesan, asiago, or italian blend for alfredo.
- 2
Cook pasta just until its a bit undercooked. Should be a bit firm towards center. *Use bowties or penne for alfredo.
- 3
Drain pasta in colander. Do NOT rinse! Doing so will wash away the starch needed to bind sauce to the noodles.
- 4
Pour container (16oz) of Heavy Cream (you could use light cream, if you want) into pot on low/simmer until warmed through.
- 5
Once heavy cream is warmed, add entire bag (8oz = 2cups) of shredded cheese. *I use sharp cheddar for mac and cheese or asiago/parmesan for alfredo.
- 6
Stir heavy cream & cheese mixture on low until combined and smooth texture.
- 7
Stir noodles into pot of cheese sauce. Mix well and simmer until noodles are perfect tenderness (just a few minutes).
- 8
***This step is not necessary! If you want plain mac and cheese stop now.*** Here, you will add anything you desire. I added brown sugar ham and black olives. For alfredo, i like to add in creamed spinach, mushrooms, and grilled chicken.

Easy mac n cheese! Easy mac n cheese!
I used penne pasta instead of elbow Macaroni n I think it came out just as good. U can add bread crumbs to this recipe. If you choose too mid way through cooking cover mac n cheese with foil so the bread crumbs don't burn. U can also add bacon, ham or tomatoes before putting it in the oven as well. ;)
