CHEESE MACARONI

An easy and interesting pasta version recipe prepared with macaroni in a unique pasta sauce. It makes a perfect filling meal for the most important morning breakfast meal. It is usually prepared with basic ingredients like tomato and basil relish.

Also, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants related to macaroni and cheese recipe. Firstly, the sauce prepared here with Desi Touch can be used for any type of pasta. Basically, the sauce is ideal for macaroni pasta, but it should not be limited to other types of pasta variants. For the second part, I have added mozzarella cheese which makes it a perfect combo for this recipe.

However, you can add processed cheese or any type of cheese as per your taste. Finally, the sauce tends to thicken after letting it rest, mainly due to the cheese. So it is always best to serve it immediately after it is prepared. Otherwise, you may have to reheat it to get it to the right consistency.
