Creamy Stove Top Macaroni And Cheese

1. 1

   1. Place the dry pasta in a colander and run it under water quickly to rinse. Let drain.

   2. In a medium saucepan, combine the uncooked pasta, milk, salt, mustard powder and nutmeg and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Make sure to stir frequently and stay near the stove during this step - milk goes from simmer to boil very quickly and can overflow if not watched! Once the mixture is simmering, turn the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until milk is absorbed and macaroni is fully cooked.
