ingredients
- 2 cups elbow macaroni
- 2 cups fontinella cheese, grated
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons butter (not margarine)
- 1 teaspoon salt
directions
- Add salt to 3 quarts of water and bring to a boil.
- Once the water comes to a boil, add the elbow macaroni, stirring occasionally.
- Cook macaroni for about 6-8 minutes, or until desired tenderness. (I prefer al dente').
- While macaroni is cooking, using a cheese grater, finely grate 2 cups of Fontinella cheese.
- Pour finished macaroni into a strainer, and strain out all the water.
- Place butter in the bottom of a medium mixing bowl, and pour macaroni on top of it. Mix until all the macaroni is coated with butter.
- Finally, gradually mix in the grated Fontinella cheese, mixing together with a fork, until all the macaroni is covered with the now-melted cheese.
- Enjoy!

i love sloofy's mac & cheese! :) maybe i'm supposed to say that 'cause he's my fiance, but it's the truth! don't believe me, try it yourself! i previously had only experienced traditional mac & cheese, which is much heavier and richer. i love both, but honestly prefer this recipe, do to it's flavor. it's super-duper yummy! :)
