2. Cooking Directions
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the macaroni until just done, about 8 minutes. Drain and return to the hot pot.
- Put the pot over the lowest possible heat and add the butter, cheese, mustard, Tabasco sauce if using, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese melts, and serve.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
Even if you're not feeling nostalgic, you'll find this slightly updated version of an old favorite irresistible. And it's incredibly fast and easy because you don't have to make a sauce or even bake the macaroni.
Notes:
Test-Kitchen Tip: Pre-grated cheeses are certainly convenient, but what you gain in time you lose in taste. Since cheddar cheese is the star ingredient here, try to find one of excellent quality and grate it yourself. It takes only minutes on a hand-held grater. You can grate the cheese while the pasta is cooking. There are a number of delicious cheddars on the market, including those from Vermont, New York, Wisconsin, and Oregon. Either white or orange is fine.
