Share:
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound elbow macaroni fusilli or other short pasta
- salt to taste, optional
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese use whatever kind you like and have on hand, freshly grated, sharp
- chives thinly sliced, optional
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Stir in the macaroni and cook, stirring frequently at the beginning, until al dente, about 1 minute shy of what the package directions suggest.
- Dump the macaroni into a colander placed in the sink to drain.
- While the macaroni drains, place the pot back on the stovetop over low heat. Add the cream and then the cheese. Stir, increasing the heat slightly as you need to in order to speed things along, until the cheese melts into a sauce, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and stir enthusiastically until the sauce thickens and clings to each noodle, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
