Ingredients

  • ½ cup gluten-free elbow macaroni
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
  • ½ cup water, plus more as needed
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese - I used Vermont sharp

Instructions

  • Add the dry macaroni, cornstarch, and salt to a deep microwave-safe bowl. Stir to coat the pasta and then stir in the water.
  • Microwave for 2 minutes, stir well, then microwave for another 2 minutes.
  • Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of water, as needed. Continue to heat in 2-minute intervals and add 1-2 tablespoons of water with each heating, as needed. Total cooking time will be 6-8 minutes but will depend on your microwave and the brand of pasta you use.
  • When the pasta is soft, stir in the milk and shredded cheese until combined.
  • Microwave in 30 second intervals until the cheese is melted.
  • Let stand for 1 minute before serving.

Notes

Notes: The bowl will be extremely hot. Be sure to use oven mitts when handling the bowl. You can reduce or increase the cheese to your desired level of cheesiness.
