Best Mac & Cheese

Credit goes to @mxriyum on Tiktok. The most delicious Mac and cheese recipe I’ve ever tried making.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

- Grab a pot & add heavy cream, cream cheese, and seasonings. Simmer on low heat while you prepare the rest of your dish. Don't not let it simmer for too long, we just want to warm it up before we add it to our roux

Step 2

- In a separate pot, bring a pot of water to a boil, add in your pasta and a Hefty pinch of salt, and boil until el dente. Save 1/2 cup of your pasta water!

Step 3

- Drain your pasta and set to the side while you start on your sauce.

Step 4

- (On low to medium heat) In the same pot that you boiled your pasta in, add in your butter and sauté your minced garlic and shallot for 2-4 minutes

Step 5

- Now, add in your flour and continue to stir until it develops a beautiful light golden color (don't allow it to get too deep in color) - then add in your simmered heavy cream mixture! (Make sure it's still nice and warm, this will prevent your sauce from splitting) and your pasta water!

Step 6

- Stir in your heavy cream mixture and pasta water in well, then you can add in all of your freshly grated cheeses (prepackaged shredded cheese won't give you the same flavor or look) mix until melted and creamy

Step 7

- This is also where you can taste your sauce and see if you'd like to add any more of whatever seasoning!

Step 8

- Once your sauce is done, you can now add in your cooked pasta and stir until well coated!

Step 9

- Grab the baking dish you'd like to serve your pasta in, and a layer of your Mac a layer of cheese another layer of Mac and another layer of cheese:)

Step 10

Step 11
