Effortless Tini's Viral Mac (Printable Version)
Ultra creamy and cheesy mac made all in a single pot—skip the draining! Pure comfort in minutes, real easy.
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
Salt and pepper, however much you like
02 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
03 -
1/2 cup Parmesan, freshly grated
04 -
1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded up
05 -
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded sharp
06 -
2 cups whole milk or grab heavy cream for that extra creamy factor
07 -
2 cups elbow macaroni, any small pasta shape works
→ Optional Add-ins
08 -
Fresh parsley, chopped up, if you want to make it pretty
09 -
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
10 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
If you're feeling up to it, scatter some parsley on top. Taste for salt and pepper, add more if you want. Spoon it out quick while it's still steamy and smooth.
02 -
Dial the heat low. Toss in the butter and all the cheeses. You can throw in the garlic and mustard now if that's your thing. Stir away till it's all gooey and blended.
03 -
Dump the macaroni in a pot with your milk. Get it on the stove over medium. Stir here and there so it won't burn. Let it bubble until the pasta's fully cooked and the milk thickens up, usually about 8-10 minutes.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Cooking everything in just one pan makes the sauce super creamy since the pasta's starch stays in the mix
02 -
Not into these cheeses? Mix things up with gouda or Gruyère to make it your own
03 -
If it looks too thick, just pour in a little extra milk and stir until it loosens up
