Questions about Macaroni or noodles with cheese
How do you make macaroni or noodles with cheese from a pouch?
Boil the pasta until just tender, then drain it well. Stir in the cheese sauce powder with the milk or butter specified on the packet; adding the liquid gradually helps prevent lumps.

Take the pan off the heat before stirring in the cheese powder and a splash of warm milk. Add more milk a little at a time until the sauce coats the pasta without turning watery.

Stir in peas, sweetcorn or chopped spinach while the pasta is hot, so they warm through in the sauce. For extra savoury flavour, add cooked mushrooms or a little mustard.
