I have a few different pastas on deck, fusilli, rotini, penne... I also have plenty of random cheeses in the fridge. Are there any simple stovetop mac n cheese recipes that I can use with which to experiment? Can be anywhere between "boring" all the way to "curiously intriguing."
TIA

While we are on the topic... if anyone has a peppery mac and cheese recipe I have been looking for something that reminds me of deli style hot lunch mac and cheese that was less cheesy and more peppery/buttery

American Cheese,


This is a key ingredient that a lot of people miss. American cheese has something in it that allows the other cheeses to melt and emulsify smoothly.

Using evaporated milk will do what using American does.

I like that recipe LL.

If you've had leftovers, you know how dense it becomes when it's cold. I want to try making a batch and put it into a loaf pan to chill down. Then slice and griddle to see if it gets crunchy on the outside.

Will have to try that. May add some pickled jalapenos to give it a bit of a kick.
