Very easy recipe with a detailed step-by-step explanation with photographs to prepare some macaroni and cheese in a cup using only the microwave.
If Archimedes had had to live in this century, I am sure that instead of saying that “give me a foothold and I will move the world” he would have said something like “give me a large cup and a microwave and I will eat the world”, because you have to see the delicious things that can be done in the microwave and staining only the plate or the cup that we are going to use to eat. We have already made chocolate and coffee cakes, we have made French omelets. And today we are teaching you how to prepare some macaroni and cheese in a cup that will go directly to your list of recipes to be tried.
Time
- Total 8 min
Ingredients
- Macaroni, 50 g
- Chicken broth, vegetables or salted water, 120 ml
- Milk, 40 ml
- Shredded cheddar cheese, 50 g
- Fresh chives, optional
- Ground cayenne, optional
These macaroni and cheese in a cup are one of those perfect recipes for when you have to cook for yourself. Or for those who have never cooked before in their life or for when you want to make yourself hot to get out of the way and do not want to miss anything in the kitchen.
Preparation of the macaroni and cheese in a cup
- In a large cup or bowl, we put the macaroni with the liquid ( chicken broth, vegetables, or water with a little salt) and heat in the microwave at 800 W in batches of 2 minutes and stir between batches. It is important that the cup is large so that the liquid does not overflow, but if that happens, all we have to do is add one or two more tablespoons of liquid. The normal thing is that with 6 minutes in total, the macaroni is al dente and without liquid, if they are hard and have run out of liquid, add a couple of tablespoons and heat again, but now in batches of 1 minute until they are cooked. If, on the contrary, they are al dente but there is still liquid, we can remove it if we want the sauce thick or leave it if we want it lighter.
- At that point, we add the grated cheese and milk, mix well, and heat it for 1 minute at 800 W.
- We can serve with little chopped chives and ground cayenne.
Outcome
- These macaroni and cheese in a cup are not only easy, quick, and clean, they are also infinitely better than any of those envelopes with pasta preparations and powders to make similar recipes.
- It is also a recipe that I like because it is perfect so that those little ones who are about to enter adolescence can prepare something for themselves and see that homemade food can also be quick and easy.
- If we want to intensify the cheese flavor, even more. We can add a tablespoon of Parmesan or Grana Padano powder at the end, but that’s for taste.
- With four things and a big cup we make ourselves dinner
