Mac and Cheese are made from the main ingredient, namely macaroni pasta. The pasta originated in Italy and then spread to France and the United Kingdom. In the end, Mac and Cheese became a very common food in America and are easy to find in many places. Mac and Cheese are liked by kids to adults because it is one of the comfort foods and does not have a strong flavour.

In this recipe, I will make a simple Mac and' Cheese using 3 main ingredients, which are macaroni, milk, and cheese. In this case, I will use Cheddar cheese.

Additional Notes: The most important part is that when boiling the pasta, the pasta should not be overcooked or undercooked. We can say it "al dente". It has to be chewy and nice to eat.
