Ingredients
- 2 cups dry penne pasta
- 8 ounce Velveeta cheese cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- Cut the Velveeta into small cubes so it can melt easily.
- In a small saucepan, combine cubed Velveeta cheese and heavy cream.
- Turn the heat to low. Cook and stir until all the cheese is melted.
- Reduce the heat to simmer until you are ready to combine with the pasta.
- Once pasta is done, drain and pour it back into the pot where it was cooked.
- Add the cheese sauce to the pasta and stir to coat the pasta with the sauce.

Notes
- Make sure you cut the Velveeta into small pieces to make it easier to melt in the saucepan.
- While melting the cheese and heavy cream together, keep the heat on low. You will not want this to boil or burn.
- Make a big batch of the mac and cheese - it will never go to waste and it re-heats nicely for other meals.
