Even if you're not feeling nostalgic, you'll find this slightly updated version of an old favorite irresistible. And it's incredibly fast and easy because you don't have to make a sauce or even bake the macaroni.

wine recommendation

Don't uncork the rare vintage Bordeaux for this one! A simple, straightforward dish needs a wine with the same qualities. Find a Beaujolais-Villages from France or a California wine made from the fruit-filled gamay or mourvèdre grape and chill it before serving.

Macaroni and Cheese

Came out cheesey and not at all runny. Instead of using Tabasco I used Sriracha which gave it a great kick. I definitely prefer this over any boxed mac and cheese.

Pretty mild but one of my faves, instead of 8 ounces of the cheddar try 4oz. of cheddar and 4oz. of diced American cheese & don't be afraid to toss in 1/4 pound of cooked & crumbled bacon or Pancetta. Almost forgot, reserve a cup of the pasta water if you think it is to thick. Add a bit of water at a time to make it more creamy! Have fun with this one!

I thought this was great.  It's not super creamy like the other reviewer thought it should be, because there is no milk.  But its a great weeknight version and very good.  I used sharp cheddar a little pancetta and a little goat cheese that I had leftover.  You do need to be careful and take it off the heat when you are melting the cheese and the butter it can get gloppy.  But overall a great simple version.
