17 May The best one-pot macaroni and cheese

This is my absolute favourite go to meal. It is quick. It is ridiculously easy. And my kids love it!
I make this one-pot macaroni and cheese often. You know those days when everyone arrives home moaning and demanding a meal? This is the ultimate quick-fix meal.
The beauty of this one-pot macaroni and cheese is…. You guessed it, it only uses one pot. Everything, except the cheese, is dumped into one pot and presto your meal is served.
I also happen to think that this one-pot macaroni and cheese is totally comparable to the regular version. The bonus is that you don’t have to stand and make a separate sauce. The pot does it all for you!

There are some other food bloggers who also have some beautiful pasta recipes on offer. But the one who deserves a special mention is Martha Stewart. She is apparently the creator of the one pot pasta. And in my opinion it’s one the the best food inventions yet. A food blogger who goes by the name of The Greatist has compiled a whole lot of one-pot pasta recipes including the original Martha Stewart recipe – https://greatist.com/eat/one-pot-pasta-recipes
I hope that you enjoy these recipes. I look forward to seeing your creations. Until next time, Leanne xoxo
