Macaroni & Cheese

We’re making the classic child pleaser today. The Macaroni and Cheese.

I made fresh macaroni to make this. All thanks to this handy dandy machine.

It makes fresh noodles, and pasta out of flour, water, and if you fancy, some eggs.

This is how the macaroni looks like. They will all differ in terms of length because they have to each be cut individually.

Add the boiled fresh macaroni, to some milk, cream and eggs, and homemade macaroni and cheese is ready.

Much better than the boxed ones.
Here’s the recipe in Indonesian, where I am from.
