This flavorful version of macaroni and cheese is made on the stove-top and uses sharp Cheddar cheese plus Parmesan for full flavor. Add some cooked link sausage or ham to the pasta for a meal in a dish.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups macaroni pasta (textured elbows or twists recommended)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces fine-shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped chives, optional

Preparation:

Cook macaroni pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water.

While macaroni is cooking, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, Tabasco sauce, ground mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Drain the pasta, return to the hot pot, and immediately stir in the butter, shredded Cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese, along with the egg mixture. Continue to stir over medium heat until cheese is melted and eggs are cooked. Fold in chives, if using.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
