Easy Microwave Mac and Cheese
The fact that I don’t have a walk-in closet is the norm for me-that, and the fact that even if I did, I wouldn’t care to fill it. Likewise, I realize that not having a full kitchen might be the norm for others-that, and the fact that even if they had one, they wouldn’t use it. Needless to say, some of my top viewer requests are for quick and easy recipes. You can’t get as quick and comforting as a piping hot pile of buttered, cheesy noodles that takes less than 10 minutes and minimal effort.

Serves: 1 Serving
Ingredients
- ½ c pasta
- ¾ c whole milk
- ½ tb butter
- Salt
- 1 tb cream/goat cheese
- ½ c – 1 c shredded cheese
Instructions
- In a large heat safe vessel, {the larger the better to control overflow} combine the pasta, milk, butter, and salt.
- In my 1.58 kw microwave, it took me a total of 6 minutes in short bursts to cook the pasta through.
- Carefully take it out and stir in the cheeses. Microwave for an additional 30-60 seconds to allow the cheeses to melt and cover the pasta in the creamy, cheesy sauce.
- Let stand to cool slightly then enjoy.
Love,

pure, simple, comfort food. Love!
This is comfort food, unfortunately I may have to give up cheese, there is a strong possibility that I am allergic to rennet, will try cheese again in a few weeks to see if I get any reaction.
Pasta in the microwave without orange powder? Perfect!!
Brilliant. Love that you whip this bad boy up in the microwave. Is your shredded cheese like a cheddar?
cheese cheese and more cheese!!!
When I was young I was convinced I could live on mac n cheese. I still think it might be possible.
My grandson jokes that they don’t need a real kitchen in his house…just a microwave and refrigerator. He would love this recipe.
Oh snap! That is easy! How easy is this 6-minute microwave pasta that turns into a classic mac and cheese. I should have this in my back pocket in case of emergency.
super fantastic!
Hi Angela!
Love, love, love that bowl!!! So col that it stays cool after it comes out of the microwave!
Mac and Cheese is pure comfort food in my book and even with a full size kitchen, sometimes simple, quick and no clean-up is still the best way to go.
Thank you so much for sharing, Angela…
