Never boil pasta for mac and cheese

As the cold, dark nights draw in, there’s nothing quite more soul-warming than a huge comforting bowl of mac and cheese.

While everyone swears by their own personal recipe when it comes to the dinnertime staple, it turns out we could be seriously improving the taste by making a simple switch.

Yup, an even creamier bowl of mac and cheese is super easy to achieve – and it doesn’t involve adding more cheese

Instead of cooking your pasta in water, cook it in milk instead.

The water-to-milk swap creates a more efficient cooking process (less washing up? We’re into it) – with an even richer sauce.

When you cook pasta in water, the water (and all the starch from the pasta that’s released as it cooks) is poured down the drain. 

By cooking the pasta in milk instead, you get to keep all that starchy goodness for your cheese sauce.
