What’s your favourite go to comfort food? Well, I think I have to go with Pasta! Any kind will do because I’m no fussy. I especially love the Classic Turkey Tetrazzini and the One Pot Creamy Chicken Pasta. There are so many more, but we’ll be here all day. Growing up though, there was always Macaroni and Cheese, the baked kind. Which I dearly love.
About the macaroni & Cheese
- Difficulty -Honestly, this is a super easy dish to make. Yes, the sauce is made from scratch but the helpful photos will allow anybody to make it with ease.
- Taste –
- Serving – This makes four generous servings as a main course.
ingredients

- 1 tsp oregano

REMEMBER, The full recipe and instructions can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.
Instructions
- In a large sauce pan filled with boiling water, add pasta and cook for 8 – 10 minutes.
- In a medium sized sauce pan set over medium heat, add the butter. Melt for a minute and add the flour and garlic powder. Stir well until it starts to bubble and thickens. This takes about a minute to two minutes.
- Gradually start pouring in the milk and whisk as you pour. The sauce will start to thicken as you pour in the milk. Continue pouring in the milk as whisking until you have used all the milk and the sauce has thickened. This takes about 3 – 4 minutes.
- Remove sauce from heat and stir in all the cheese, oregano, salt, pepper and fresh parsley. Stir until smooth.
