- Gather ingredients. Shown is for Mac n Cheese. *Use parmesan, asiago, or italian blend for alfredo.
- Cook pasta just until its a bit undercooked. Should be a bit firm towards center. *Use bowties or penne for alfredo.
- Drain pasta in colander. Do NOT rinse! Doing so will wash away the starch needed to bind sauce to the noodles.
- Pour container (16oz) of Heavy Cream (you could use light cream, if you want) into pot on low/simmer until warmed through.
- 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.
- Stir heavy cream & cheese mixture on low until combined and smooth texture.
- Stir noodles into pot of cheese sauce. Mix well and simmer until noodles are perfect tenderness (just a few minutes).
- 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.
