Microwaved Macaroni and Cheese
Microwaved macaroni and cheese needs one bowl, a handful of pantry staples and under five minutes of cooking. The pasta softens in a little water, then the grated cheese and milk melt into a loose, creamy coating with a short second blast. Chives on top add a fresh, mild onion note that cuts through the richness. It suits a solo lunch or a late snack.
Instructions
Put the uncooked macaroni in a microwave-safe bowl and pour in enough water for the pasta to absorb as it cooks. Microwave it for 3 minutes.
Take the bowl out of the microwave. Add the grated cheese and the milk, then stir until the cheese begins to coat the pasta.
Return the bowl to the microwave for 30 seconds so the cheese melts into the milk.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir once more. Scatter the chopped chives over the top as a garnish before serving.
Make it personal.
