Adult Mac-N-Cheese


I haven't done a lot of "cook book" entries lately and there is a reasonable explanation for this. The Hubs got a pretty big promotion a couple of months ago and is hardly home for dinner...and our Roomy has started Nutrisystem - so more often than not it's just me and the nugget - aka the picky toddler that demands macaroni and cheese most nights.  Especially this week, the Hubs is cross country on a business trip and I am getting a taste of being a single parent. In an attempt to expand my daughters palate {though not by much} I made a version of macaroni and cheese for her, and then a special version for moi, using penne pasta - it's super easy and ready in less than 30 minutes. 

Cheesy Penne Pasta with Tomatoes 
{AKA Adult Macaroni and Cheese}

Ingredients:

  • Penne Pasta
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
Directions:
  1. Prepare penne pasta as instructed on the box {boil, cook, rinse!}
  2. Return noodles to pot after rinsing and reduce stove heat to low.
  3. Mix in cream, cheese, and tomatoes.
  4. Stir until the cheese it stringy and melted.
That's it. 
Serve, Eat, Enjoy!
