Quick Mac and Cheese     

Ingredients:
6 ounces elbow macaroni
Salt
6 ounces evaporated milk
6 ounces grated mild or medium cheddar cheese, or any good melting cheese, such as Fontina, Gruyère, or Jack

Preparation:
Place macaroni in a medium saucepan or skillet and add just enough cold water to cover. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Continue to cook, stirring, until water has been almost completely absorbed and macaroni is just shy of al dente, about 6 minutes.

Immediately add evaporated milk and bring to a boil. Add cheese. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring continuously, until cheese is melted and liquid has reduced to a creamy sauce, about 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with more salt and serve immediately.

This freezes and reheats well. If freezing, cook pasta slightly less.
