Recipe View Bring 2 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add salt and pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente (approximately 8-10 minutes). Drain well. To prevent sticking, spread the drained pasta on a large baking sheet to cool slightly while you prepare the sauce. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Add the drained pasta to the cheese sauce and stir gently until everything is well combined. Return to low heat and stir to heat through (approximately 2-3 minutes), thinning with a little water or milk if the sauce becomes too thick. Serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese sauce.
You can also customize this recipe by adding cooked bacon, ham, or vegetables such as broccoli or peas.
For a richer flavor, use a combination of cheddar cheese and Gruyere or fontina.
To bake the mac and cheese, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
