Easiest baked mac-and-cheese from Smitten Kitchen by Deb Perelman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Amazing! Can add bacon or veg. I added truffle creme

    I made this for my daughter's 18th birthday at her request. Since I added crumbled bacon I reduced the cheese by half. I love recipes that don't require par boiling of pasta and this was all I hoped for. I thought about adding sun dried tomatoes- maybe next time.

    I made this with mini-size pasta called 'Panzani Coquillettes' which I'd ordered online by mistake but which was delicious. On the receipe apart from thinking there was a little too much cheese (which made the dish very rich and a bit on the too salty side) this was fantastically easy and much appreciated by the family. I agree with Deb that it may not re-heat the best of all the mac cheese versions out there (not enough sauce) - but it was so delicious there was none left.
