10 Min Mac & Cheese

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb rotini or elbow pasta
  • 2-3 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. If you don't salt the water you might need to add salt to the finished sauce.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium sized skillet on medium heat. Add the heavy cream and bring it to a low bubble.
  3. While heating the cream, mix the cornstarch in with shredded cheese. (This helps evenly distribute it for the next step.)
  4. Add the starchy cheese mixture to the hot bubbling cream and mix around until it's all cheesy and melted.
  5. Add the pasta to the cheese sauce and combine before serving. (See instructions above for reheating if you're making ahead of time)
