Our Fave Mac-n-Cheese Recipe by Estee Kafra

Traditionally, cheese sauces are based on heavy cream. We use milk to lighten it up, and we enjoy it just the same.

SERVES 6–8

• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2–3 Tbsp flour
• 1 clove garlic, crushed (or 1 frozen cube)
• 1 cup milk
• 10 slices American cheese
• ²⁄₃ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 lb (450 g) macaroni

Stir butter and flour in a pot until combined. Add the garlic. Add the milk and stir until it thickens a bit. Add the cheeses and stir. Meanwhile, cook macaroni according to package instructions and drain. Stir the cheese sauce into the hot pasta and enjoy!
