The Best Mac and Cheese
This is what I had for lunch yesterday when I went home. It’s based on twisted mac and cheese that you can get at several restaurants. Yesterday, though, I discovered that the best base pasta to start with is actually the generic Shells and Cheese - which comes with the packet of liquid/gel velveeta style cheese, not the powder. Make up a batch of that type of Mac and Cheese, you wont be sorry. On the side sauté some diced red peppers, diced garlic, and some scallions. I’ve found that you get a better result if you Sauté with some real butter in the pan! Once those are a light brown on the edges. I throw them in the pan with the shells and cheese. Add a few hits of crushed red pepper, and some black pepper. Mix well. Dish it up. Top with some italian bread crumbs (which you can buy in a big cardboard tube) and some fresh grated parmesan cheese. Simple and fantastic! Becca made that for me yesterday for lunch, and I’m not sure I can go back to just sandwiches.
