Mac and Cheese in a Mug Recipe

Add the pasta and milk into a large mug.
Microwave the pasta in 1-minute intervals. Check the pasta every minute for consistency. It should take about 4 minutes before the pasta is soft, pour off the excess milk.
Add the cheese and stir in.
Place back in the microwave for about 30 seconds to a minute.
Serve and Enjoy!

Adding herbs can change this recipe completely, and with many different flavors to choose from, don’t be afraid to experiment. I recommend using some chopped chives or parsley.
You can use different cheeses, in this recipe I made use of basic cheddar cheese, but don’t be afraid to experiment trying all sorts of nice cheeses. Half mozzarella and half cheddar is a fantastic combination.
If you feel like having a bit of meat in your mac and cheese, try adding ham, smoked salmon, and other deli meats that don’t require a considerable amount of cooking.
Be extra careful when you microwave liquids as they can become superheated and explode when you go to remove it. Keeping a distance would be the best way to avoid any physical harm to yourself.
Place a plate underneath the mug as there is a good chance it will overflow.
