3 Ingredient Mac n Cheese or Alfredo
- 16 oz Heavy Cream
- 16 oz Pasta
- 8 oz Shredded Cheese
- Gather ingredients.
- Shown is for Mac n Cheese.
- *Use parmesan, asiago, or italian blend for alfredo.
- Cook pasta just until its a bit undercooked.
- Should be a bit firm towards center.
- *Use bowties or penne for alfredo.
- Drain pasta in colander.
- Do NOT rinse!
- Doing so will wash away the starch needed to bind sauce to the noodles.
- Pour container (16oz) of Heavy Cream (you could use light cream, if you want) into pot on low/simmer until warmed through.
- 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.
- Stir heavy cream & cheese mixture on low until combined and smooth texture.
- Stir noodles into pot of cheese sauce.
- Mix well and simmer until noodles are perfect tenderness (just a few minutes).
- ***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.
