How to Make Perfect Mac and Cheese

Step-by-Step

Add penne pasta to boiling salted water in a medium saucepan. Boil for 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain.

Place the pasta in a bowl. Add cheese, butter, milk, black pepper and garlic powder. Stir well.

Line a baking pan with foil, spray with cooking spray, top with the mac and cheese, and place under the broiler. Check every 30 seconds,
until slightly browned.

Optional - When the mac and cheese has browned slightly, remove from the oven, top with crushed croutons and heat at 450, for 3-5 minutes.
