Mac and Cheese Tips!

• Remember when making mac and cheese from scratch, cook pasta to at least one minute less than el dente directions on the package. Pasta will continue to cook while in the sauce. Soggy pasta=yucky mac and cheese

• Always double the sauce since the pasta will continue to absorb any liquid or sauce. Not adding enough will result in a dry mac and cheese.

• For an extra special mac and cheese, don’t forget the crunchy topping for a great combination of crunchy and creamy textures!
