Bahan-bahan

3 porsi

8 ounces (2 cups) regular or whole-wheat macaroni noodles
2 teaspoons salt, for the pasta cooking water
⅓ cup heavy cream
1 ⅓ packed cups (5 ounces) grated sharp cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon mustard powder
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

Langkah-langkah

Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Add the noodles and salt. Cook until the pasta is al dente, according to package directions. In the meantime, make sure all of your ingredients are measured and ready (I combine the dry spices in a small bowl).
Drain the pasta and leave it in the colander for now. Return the empty pot to medium heat. Immediately add the cream and let the mixture come to a boil. Once boiling, set a timer for 1 minute.
Once the minute is up, add all of the cheese and spices. Stir until the cheese has fully melted to produce a creamy sauce. Add the pasta, stir until the pasta is evenly coated in cheese sauce, and remove the pot from the heat.
Taste and season with salt, if necessary. Serve immediately.
