A great Mac and Cheese comes down to personal taste.

I like mine extra saucy, creamy and cheesy.

And it just so happens that its made one pot WITHOUT cream!

There are so many Mac and Cheese recipes out there that its mind boggling.

I have made it various ways.

I particularly like to try chef versions.

I dont think there is such thing as the perfect or best Mac and Cheese.

For me, extra saucy and creamy is what does it for me.

Cheesy goes without saying.

Dont you just want to do a face plant in this?

Look how creamy and sauce it looks!

To make a Mac and Cheese as saucy as this with cream would require several cartons of cream.

My arteries clog up just at the thought.

So instead, I make my creamy sauce using a simple roux of butter and flour.

Dont let that fancy word roux deter you, it is really simple and takes minutes to make.

One thing about any creamy pastas is that you really need to eat it straight away.

Plus the pasta gets soft.

Anyway, Id be disappointed if you have any leftover.

Whether youre making this for 2 or 6!

Shrimp Mac and Cheese outrageously delicious!

Plus the sauce has a tendency to curdle so you should probably stir it a few times.

  • When you stir the cheese through at the end, the residual heat melts it very quickly.

Also, as you stir it, the sauce thickens even more.

  • The panko topping is added at the very end because otherwise it will sink in the liquid.
