HOW TO MAKE KRAFT MAC AND CHEESE IN MICROWAVE RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine the pasta, water, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Place the pasta, water, and salt in a deep, microwave-safe bowl and stir to combine.
• Microwave the pasta for 2 minutes. Microwave on high power for 2 minutes, then stir. Watch to see if the water is foaming over the side of the bowl and stir earlier if needed. Use oven mitts or a kitchen towel if you need to move the bowl out of the microwave to do this.
• Continue microwaving in 2-minute intervals until the pasta is cooked. Continue microwaving in 2-minute intervals, stirring between each interval, until the pasta is soft and cooked through, 4 to 8 minutes more, depending on your microwave strength. If the pasta absorbs all the water before the pasta is cooked, add another 2 tablespoons of water.
• Stir the milk and cheese into the pasta. Use oven mitts or a kitchen towel to remove the bowl from the microwave. Stir in the milk, cheese, and any extra add-ins.
• Microwave in 30-second intervals to melt the cheese. Microwave on high power for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the cheese has melted and forms a creamy sauce, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes total. For a creamier sauce, add an extra tablespoon or two of milk and cheese.
• Eat immediately. This mac and cheese is best when piping hot from the microwave. If you need to reheat it, add an extra splash of milk.

Steps:

• Cook pasta per the instruction on the packaging. Rinse cooked pasta in cold water; set aside.
• Add the half and half to a small cooking pot and bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from the heat. Add in the cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and mustard powder and stir until combined.
• Add in the sharp cheddar cheese and stir until combined and the cheese is melted.
• Add cheese sauce to the pasta and toss to combine.
• Serve hot.
