Easy Mac is made for microwave use, but what about those times you are stranded without the convenience of a microwave. Maybe you have moved into a new apartment that wasn't as furnished as you thought it would be. Maybe your microwave had a meltdown and you need to replace it. Whatever the reason, your cheesy desires can still be met with a good old-fashioned stove!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Stove or burner that can boil water
  • Small pot that can hold 3 cups of water
  • 2 cups of water
  • Easy Mac pasta pouch and cheese packet
  • Bowl
  • Spoon

Step1
Place the water in the pot and turn the burner to high heat.
Step2
When the water boils, add the pasta and let cook for 5 minutes.
Step3
Drain the water, but leave enough to mix with the cheese powder. The noodles should still be wet with a little water surrounding them.
Step4
Pour the noodles and leftover water into a bowl and add the cheese powder. Mix well and let sit for 3-5 minutes so the noodles will cool and the sauce will thicken.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you don't want to dirty a bowl, instead of transferring the noodles, just add the cheese sauce to the pot.
  • Don't leave too much water behind or the sauce will be soupy.
  • Watch the water so it does not boil over the edge of the pot.
