Taste the water you’re going to boil your noodles in, it should taste like salty ocean water.

This is really the only way to flavor your macaroni noodles.

Salt your pasta water liberally, seriously it needs a lot of salt.But sometimes it would turn out better than others, so I paid attention, took notes and did a little research. I’ve never written down my macaroni and cheese recipe before because I make it like my Mom did…white sauce + whatever cheeses I need to use up in the fridge + macaroni then, bake it up. It’s much easier than trying to “guestimate” exactly how many pounds, cups, teaspoons you used the last time you multiplied the recipe. I could probably make a pretty big dent in this giant mac and cheese on my own, but it actually serves a crowd of 20-25! I find myself feeding throngs of people quite often and have recently started to write down these voluminous recipes.
