Step By Step Guide
Prepare The Pasta
First, you have to boil 1½ cups of macaroni in salted water until it becomes tender. Now drain the excess water and set it aside for a few minutes.
Make The Base
In the next step, take a deep-bottomed pan and heat it over medium flame. On the heated pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour, and keep stirring for at least two minutes to form a smooth base.
Blend In The Milk
Moving on to the next step, gently pour in 1½ cups of milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook the ingredients for about 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Add Cheese
Next, mix in 1 to 1½ cups of grated cheese (cheddar or processed). Combine well and keep stirring until the cheese is completely creamy and melted.
Mix In The Pasta
After you have completed the above steps, simply mix in the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce. Cook thoroughly for the next 4-5 minutes until all the ingredients are well coated. Once cooked, remove the dish from the pan and set it aside.
Garnish And Serve
Your one-pot cheese macaroni is now ready to be served. Garnish the dish with fresh coriander leaves, extra cheese (if desired), herbs, and chili flakes. Serve warm to your loved ones and enjoy!
