A silky, glossy cheese sauce with tender, never mushy macaroni in just 20 minutes!
This stovetop Macaroni and Cheese is a perfect classic and it just happens to be made in one pot.
It would be easy to assume that I make this in one pot for convenience.

But I swear to you, thats not the reason why.
cooking the sauce and pasta separately).
This isnt just a theory of mine, its the proper way to make Italian pastas.
The way Italians have been making it ever since the dawn of time.
I chatter on about this technique in every single pasta recipe I share.
(See all my pasta recipeshere!)
And by applying this same technique to Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese, the sauce comes out really luscious.
Silky and glossy, and it clings to every macaroni.
No gluggy sauce!!!
Add seasonings, milk, cheese, then add the pasta.
And it all cooks together at the same time!
Because the sauce thickens as it cooks, it needs to be stirred frequently.
Not constantly, but pretty frequently.
Now thats a nice vision of preparing dinner, isnt it??
The sauce continues to thicken as you stir it and serve it.

And itthickens really fast.
I know there are many fancy schamcny Macaroni and Cheese version out there in this big wide world.
Truffled, Lobster (yes, really!

), multiple types of cheeses, loaded with cream.
The list goes on and on.
And Im definitely partial to playing around with Mac and Cheese myself.
But a real classic Macaroni and Cheese is something that everyone should know.
I realise Ive completely contradicted myself here because this is a one pot version which isnt traditional!
But the end result is absolutely bang on traditional.

Baked Mac and Cheese huge reader favourite!
Chili Mac
Shrimp Mac and Cheese outrageously delicious!
Dozer fans dont miss him bombing the shot at the end!

The perils of having long hair, hmm?
