Four Cheese Mac And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the macaroni according to the package directions in lightly salted water, leaning toward the al dente side. Do not overcook!

• Drain the macaroni (reserving some of the cooking water if needed) and add it to the pot. Stir gently to combine, adding hot macaroni water as needed for consistency. Don't overmix; if there are little clumps of cheese here and there, it's fine! Taste and add about 1/2 teaspoon salt if needed. Add some pepper and minced parsley and stir. Serve immediately.

Steps:
