Whole Wheat Creamy Mac and Cheese

Making mac and cheese from scratch is almost as easy as the boxed stuff, and the homemade version tastes SO MUCH better (at least in my opinion). With very little ingredients and only 15 minutes of your time, you can make this Creamy (Whole-wheat) Mac and Cheese recipe your family will love.

Ingreadient

• 1 ½ cups whole-wheat macaroni (cooked according to package directions)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup heavy cream (plus an extra tablespoon, divided)
• 1 ¼ cups cheese (freshly grated (mild cheddar, sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack or even better – a combination of different cheeses is highly recommended including a little Parmesan cheese if you have it))
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• pepper (to taste (this dish is great with pepper on top))

Step by step

1. In the pot you used to boil the noodles, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the 1/3 cup of cream until well combined.
2. Turn the heat down to low and add the noodles, cheese, salt and pepper and cook while stirring until the the cheese melts. Stir in the last tablespoon of cream at the end. Season with black pepper and serve immediately.
