Mac n 'cheese

The famous mac n 'cheese or American-style mac n' cheese they are a real bomb… but also a real delight… creamy, smooth… delicious !! They are very simple to prepare because they have few ingredients and are quite inexpensive.

The interesting thing about this adaptation to the thermomix is ​​that we will cook the macaroni directly in the sauce, that is, we do not have to cook them in water first and then add them with the sauce. It is the same procedure as express conch with chistorra. In this way, the pasta is full of flavor, becoming a great snack, as well as making the task a little easier. Perhaps it is not the most "purist" way to prepare pasta in the eyes of an Italian, but I assure you that it is worth it!

We have used a paste that is small and hollow, which is called Sharks o elbows. But you can use macaroni traditional or the smallest. There are even people who use fideuá noodles, I particularly do not like this last option because it is far from the original and it is interesting that it has a hole inside the pasta so that between the sauce and the bite it is even more exquisite.

And to make it even easier for you, we leave you the video recipe !!
