Quick Stovetop Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

Directions

  • Stir together milk, 2 cups water, and salt in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil over high. Stir in pasta. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring often and gently to loosen pasta from bottom of pot, until just tender, about 12 minutes. (Do not over-stir, or pasta may become mushy.)
