  • 1 cup cheddar cheese

    grated

  • ½ cup parmesan cheese

    freshly grated

  • ⅔ cup thin cream or evaporated low fat milk

  • 1 sea salt

Instructions

  1. Cook macaroni according to packet instructions, it will take 6-10 minutes.

  3. Add cheeses, cream or milk and salt to the macaroni and stir over a low heat until cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened.

Notes

Tip
A classic to be sure. Serve on its own as an easy Sunday dinner, or as a side with a BBQ chicken or some sausages (I keep some of our favourite lamb and rosemary sausages in the freezer) and salad.
Variation
Make this a ‘sneaky’ dish by stirring in some pumpkin or sweet potato puree…they will never know.
