How to Make Box Mac and Cheese Better
Sharing my secret recipe for how to make box mac and cheese better. It involves butter, a little starchy pasta water, a little Greek yogurt and a dash of hot sauce!
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 1 box Kraft macaroni and cheese or any box mac and cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons pasta water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup 2% Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large salted pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and stir.Â
- Cook the noodles until they are al dente. Before straining noodles from the pot, remove about ¼ cup of the pasta water from the pot and set aside.Â
- Strain water from the noodles.Â
- Place the pot back on the stove top and turn heat to medium/low.Â
- Add butter to the pan. When the butter is melted, add the Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons of pasta water, hot sauce, and pepper to the pot and stir until combined.Â
- Add the cheese powder packet to the Greek yogurt mixture and stir until there are no cheese powder clumps. If the clumps do not dissolve add 1 more tablespoon of pasta water to the pot.Â
- Â Finally, add the cooked noodles to the pot and stir until all the noodles are covered by the cheese sauce. If the cheese sauce is too thick add a teaspoon of pasta water to the pot at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.Â
