don't cry. pour a small-seeming serving of any pasta noodle you'd like in a deep microwave-safe bowl, just barely cover the noodles with water, microwave for roughly 2 minutes 30 seconds, stir, microwave for 2 more minutes, carefully drain the pasta water from the pasta, liberally mix shredded non-mozzarella cheese into the hot noodles, and pour small amounts of milk in (maaaybe a school milk carton's worth or two at most) to taste and to make it creamier, okay?

#rosie babbles #nightblogging #recipe #macaroni #nothing against mozzarella ofc. it's just that the traits that make it perfect for mozza sticks and string cheese make for abysmal sauce #and you Will want to be careful with your water levels.#either that or be ready to use a sizable amt of paper towel to mop up the microwave platter.#also the timing can be fiddled with. experimentation is fun :)#you can also be like me and add garlic salt to the cheese sauce but i'm well aware i'm probably a bit of a freak like that xD #the fun thing abt this is that it's quicker than making actual boxes of macaroni #but allows for much more fiddling than Follow The EasyMac Instructions #literally the only bad-tasting version of this i've made so far was the one where i forgot to drain the water first.#also re: the water #depending on the bowl and your arm/wrist/grip strength you can carefully tilt the bowl over the sink #and use a spoon to hold the noodles back as you drain it #noodles that have been tested: egg. macaroni. small shells. bowtie (better eaten w/fork not spoon).#cheeses that have been tested: 'mexican-blend' shredded. additional pcs from sliced cheddar and colby jack #cheeses to avoid: mozzarella #i'd test this with lactose-free dairy #but i live in a house where cow milk is king and dairy substitutes are always easy targets for complaining #i can't think of any reason swapping out dairy for non-dairy or regular noodles for gluten-free noodles would cause issues tho
