"Mac 'n' Cheese" is a popular snack/ breakfast item. It is basically macaroni pasta cooked in a cheesy sauce. Its very easy and kids friendly recipe. After quite number of south Indian dish posts I wanted to make a versatile post. Love the mild sweetness of this pasta. I wont say this is the authentic recipe but this sauce works pretty well for us both while making mac 'n' cheese and for using in other pasta based dishes! Sharing my version hope you like it too :).

Method
1.
In pan boil 2 cup water adding salt and olive oil. Once water
starts boiling add the macaroni and cook for 8-10 minutes. Drain the cooked
pasta and rinse it with cold water.
2.
Chop the garlic flakes very finely and grate the cheese. In a
heavy bottomed pan add butter and once it melts add garlic along with maida
and sauté in medium flame for few minutes.
3.
Slowly add milk and keep stirring to avoid any lumps. You can
use a whisk at this stage. Add grated cheese and keep stirring for 2-3
minutes till the sauce thickens. Add cooked pasta and mix well.
4.
Check for salt at this stage and add if necessary. Finally
garnish with chili flakes and Italian seasoning. Serve hot immediately!

Notes
·
Take care not to over roast the maida. Saute
in medium flame for 2-3 minutes to get nice aroma.
·
Do not add more maida than the mentioned
amount.
·
In case you find some lumps in the sauce you
can strain it and use the sauce.
·
Cheese will have salt in it so add salt
finally as mentioned according to your taste.
·
You can skip garlic and olive oil if they are
not available. But I recommend to use them otherwise.
