PIN TO MAKE LATER

Keeping up with the Orange color theme, today we focus on cheddar cheese and use it in making everyone’s favorite a creamy macaroni and cheese.

It is a side dish that sometimes becomes main for it is so tempting and delicious.

In this version of mac and cheese, I am adding an egg but feel free to omit it if you are allergic or just do not prefer to have it in your macaroni and cheese.

The egg adds to the flavor of this dish and makes it creamier, but if you really have to leave it out go ahead.

When you think macaroni and cheese you think elbow macaroni, but you can use any type of pasta you like but avoid the large size pasta. To cover large pasta with cheese sauce you have to make a lot of sauce.

To make sure you have smooth and creamy texture cook the pasta a little longer than the time mentioned on the pasta box.

I personally never liked my pasta to have a bite to it.

How to make make macaroni and cheese

The cheese sauce is indeed creamy, I leave some in the pan enjoy while the macaroni and cheese are baking. Since you have cooked the pasta and the cheese sauce be careful not to over bake the macaroni and cheese or you will end up with dry pasta and very thick sauce.

Also, try to buy fresh mozzarella cheese instead of the previously shredded ones. The shredded and packed mozzarella cheese tend to lose moisture while in the process of packing.

As I have mentioned earlier in this post, everyone has a favorite macaroni and cheese recipe, and I know many of you love having more cheese and butter in your macaroni and cheese.

If you feel like adding more then be my guest but while baking the macaroni and cheese place a larger pan under it in case the cheese melted out of the baking pan.
