How To Make mac n cheese

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to the package directions, drain, reserving one (1) cup of the pasta water

Step 2

Grease a casserole dish. In another pot mix together the cheeses and the butter and pour them into the casserole along with the reserved pasta water. If this is not "cheesy" enough for you taste add another cup of mozzarella cheese.
Step 3

Bake @ 350 degrees until the cheeses melt. Remove from the oven and coat the top with crushed Ritz Crackers. Put it back in the oven just 'til the crackers start to lightly brown
