It’s easy to double this recipe, and you can substitute 1/2 of the cheese for 1/2 pkg of cream cheese as well.
1 cup Macaroni, I used large.
About 3 c Water in the pot.
1/8 tsp Salt.
1/2 stick Butter.
1/2 c Half n Half.
1/2 c Whipping Cream.
Salt and Pepper to taste…..add some garlic if you like.
8 oz grated Cheese…CoJack, or Mexican blend,
(or actually any blend or kind you like best. I prefer the mild ones but you can use sharp too, the texture will change a bit though.)
Add the Water, Noodles and Salt in the pot,
Put the lid on, vent to Sealing. Set manual and adjust + – to 4 min. when it’s done, do a QR, and turn the pot off, and drain excess water off noodles. (If your using Deli noodles, check for doneness, and if they aren’t quite done, turn the pot to sauté and let them cook a minute longer until done, then drain excess water off) after the noodles are drained, turn the pot to sauté, and make sure it’s on normal or medium, then toss in the butter to melt, once it’s melted, pour in the cream and half and half, and heat til nice and bubbly, then add cheese about a half cup at a time and stir in to heat. Add more cream if you like as well.
After it’s all added, then taste it and add salt and pepper to taste.
[Note on Noodles: if you don’t want to drain water off of the pasta at all, the basic proper ratio of pasta to water or broth is 4 oz of Pasta =1 cup water… 8 oz pasta =2 c water ….16 oz pasta = 4 c water ]
