3 Ingredient Mac n Cheese or Alfredo step by step

  1. Gather ingredients. Shown is for Mac n Cheese. *Use parmesan, asiago, or italian blend for alfredo..

  2. Cook pasta just until its a bit undercooked. Should be a bit firm towards center. *Use bowties or penne for alfredo..

  3. Drain pasta in colander. Do NOT rinse! Doing so will wash away the starch needed to bind sauce to the noodles..

  4. Pour container (16oz) of Heavy Cream (you could use light cream, if you want) into pot on low/simmer until warmed through..

  5. Once heavy cream is warmed, add entire bag (8oz = 2cups) of shredded cheese. *I use sharp cheddar for mac and cheese or asiago/parmesan for alfredo..

  6. Stir heavy cream & cheese mixture on low until combined and smooth texture..

  7. Stir noodles into pot of cheese sauce. Mix well and simmer until noodles are perfect tenderness (just a few minutes)..

  8. This step is not necessary! If you want plain mac and cheese stop now. Here, you will add anything you desire. I added brown sugar ham and black olives. For alfredo, i like to add in creamed spinach, mushrooms, and grilled chicken..
