Easy EASY Mac 'n' Cheese

Blue Jean Chef

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb penne
  • 1/4 cup cream
  • 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 oz cream cheese
  • Salt and pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh chives, chopped

Preparation

Bring a stockpot of salted water to a boil and place a large skillet over the lowest possible heat. Bring all the cheeses and cream out of the refrigerator to come as close to room temperature as possible.

Add the penne to the boiling water and cook according to the box instructions until al dente. Remove 1/4 cup of the pasta water and set aside. Drain the penne.

Immediately transfer the penne to the warm skillet and add all remaining ingredients. Stir well. If necessary, loosen the pasta a little with the reserved pasta water.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss in the freshly herbs. Serves 2–3.
