INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a pan, mix cornstarch with a little cold milk. Gradually add the rest of the milk while stirring continuously to ensure a smooth mixture. Next, add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. This step is crucial for flavor, so don’t rush!

  2. Thicken the Sauce

    Add the butter to the pan, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. This process usually takes just a few minutes. Once the sauce has reached the desired consistency, add the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce, creating a creamy texture that will be the star of your mac and cheese recipe.

  3. Combine with Pasta

    In a separate pot, cook your pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and mix it with the cheesy sauce you prepared earlier. Ensure that every piece of pasta is well-coated with the creamy cheese mixture. This is what makes this Paisa recipe truly special—each bite will be bursting with cheesy goodness!

  4. Prepare for Baking the mac and cheese

    Transfer the mac and cheese mixture into a baking dish. Spread it evenly and cover the top generously with grated parmesan cheese. This will create a deliciously crispy topping that complements the creamy pasta underneath.

  5. Bake to Perfection

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Once the oven is hot, place the baking dish inside and bake for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the top to be golden and bubbly, which adds a delightful texture to your dish.

  6. Serve and Enjoy

    After baking, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This mac and cheese recipe is best served warm. Scoop out portions and enjoy this comforting and delicious Paisa recipe that’s perfect for family gatherings or a cozy night in!
