You won’t believe how simple this creamy mac and cheese is to pull together.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups skim milk

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni

  • 3 cups finely grated old cheddar

  • 1/2 cup mascarpone

  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard, (optional)

Instructions

  • Boil milk with water, butter and salt in a pot over medium.

  • Add macaroni. Cook, stirring often, until macaroni is tender, 10 to 12 min. (It’s OK if it’s a little saucy.)

  • Remove from heat. Stir in cheddar, mascarpone and mustard until cheese melts.
