So my husband and I are a little obsessed with Mac and
Cheese. It’s one of our favorite
meals. This
is our complete favorite. When I
first tried this original Mac and Cheese recipe I thought there would be
nothing better. Ever. This was the
ultimate Mac and Cheese and nothing else could ever rival it. Until now!
This Stovetop Mac and Cheese is seriously inching its way up
into being our new favorite Mac and Cheese recipe. And there are so many reasons why. One of the best things about this recipe is
just how easy it is! It couldn’t be any
easier. Seriously. All you do is boil the pasta, drain it, and
then add the added ingredients – including garlic, Gouda cheese, milk, Greek
yogurt, and a little bit of butter. Stir,
stir, and stir, until the pasta is creamy and delicious. That’s it!
All stovetop, no oven, and in no-time.
And, of course, the other great thing about this recipe is
how great it tastes. It’s cheesy and
creamy and has amazing flavor. The Gouda
gives it a great silky-smooth texture and flavor, and isn’t too overwhelming. Plus the garlic is nice added ingredient that
really pumps up the flavor, and makes this dish really shine.
This might just be
our new favorite mac and cheese. And I
bet it will be yours too!
Enjoy!

Serves: About 6
16 ounces Dried Pasta (I like to use elbow macaroni, spirals, or
pinwheels)
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
8 ounces Gouda, Shredded
¼ Milk (I use low-fat)
1/3 cup Greek Yogurt
3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Salt and Pepper, to Taste
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until it turns al
dente – you want it to be slightly firm to the bite, and not mushy. Drain the pasta quickly, allowing some of the
water to stay on the pasta, and then immediately transfer the pasta back to the
pot.
Add the garlic and shredded gouda and stir to combine. Continue stirring until almost all the cheese
has melted. Stir in the milk, Greek
yogurt, and butter, and continue stirring until all the ingredients are fully
incorporated and have coated the pasta.
The cheese will be completely melted and the pasta will be creamy. Season with salt and pepper and then serve immediately.
