Why didn't I buy mac and cheese this morning? At least one of the shitty side pasta pack things? Got a craving, but also the lazies.

If you have dry pasta and cheese this is very quick. https://whiteonricecouple.com/stove-top-one-pot-macaroni-cheese-recipe/

This looks good, quicker than the baked one I usually make. Would be good if short on time.

Idk how it would go in the microwave but the boxed stuff works so you could try. Halve the amounts and zap it to get the pasta cooked in the water. Then add the milk and do short bursts on lower power with frequent stirring, mix the cheese in at the end.

I’m currently not able to eat very much and no longer tolerate even low lactose cheese otherwise I’d test and troubleshoot for ya
