A few days ago my girls were begging for mac and cheese. Not the super rich yummy homemade kind, but that processed stuff in the blue box. Well, I didn't have any blue box mac and cheese. I was down sick with the flu and didn't have it in me to go get any and I wasn't up for making the super rich yummy special homemade stuff, so I whipped up what I could with what I had. This is what I came up with:
I cooked 8 oz of bow tie pasta. I didn't have macaroni, and bow ties are more fun anyway
In the mean time I cubed up about 1/2 cup of medium cheddar cheese and placed that in a small sauce pan.
I added 1/4 cup shredded pecarino romano.
Added 2 tblsp butter
Added 1/4 milk
a couple pinches of kosher salt and a couple turns on the pepper grinder.
I slowly melted this until it was all mixed and liquid then tossed it with the drained bow ties.
My girls loved it! They even said they'd rather have that over the stuff in the blue box! Now that's a compliment!
