One thing I do make on it fairly regularly is whole grain pasta (and occasionally the vegan or organic mac and cheese for a little guest).
Thanks to my friend Carol at
I discovered her trick to easy fuss-free pasta for two (I'm not sure if this would work in large amounts but for a serving for 2-3 it's perfect.) Bring your water up to a full rolling boil, covered, pop the cover, pour the pasta in, give it a stir, and quickly cover it.
Then turn off the heat.
You heard me. Turn off the heat, set the timer for 10 minutes and walk away. Go do something you'd rather be doing.
In 10 minutes you'll have perfect al dente pasta.
Now if I could just find a way to dry my hair every morning without the hair drier.

ReplyDeletemmmmmmmmmmmm...mac'n'cheese. Always a winner!!!
Eyes-on... YAM xx
I am still in disbelief how well that method works! I suspect it would work for larger amounts too but it is perfect for smaller ones. It is so easy that we have pasta much more often. Glad you liked it too!

Ok I love Mac and cheese! Soooo yummy!!
ReplyDeleteIn Canada we call the Kraft mac and cheese, Kraft dinner. Something I also discovered in college, and while homemade is better, I admit to missing lol!
ReplyDeleteI have extended family from Montreal. They call it KD and say they can tell the difference in the taste between the two products (when they make it they use less butter and more milk, than the instructions on the box in the US).
