If you cover the pasta and water with a towel or paper towel after you microwave it and let it sit for a few minutes the pasta will soak up the water if you are having trouble softening the pasta. Also I replaced the cheddar with mozzarella and threw in some garlic powder, parmesan and butter to make some Alfredo in a mug 🤗 it was delicious btw

[@nattherat1030]

Thank you so much for this! Its delicious!

[@GracieRachel07]

@@nattherat1030 aww I’m glad you liked it 😄

[@Maddiee04]

I just did this recipe, trouble softening the noodles, I used small shells. I tried it by itself, it was meh. But then I added salt, pepper, parm, and Rao’s spicy marinara, and omg it was so bomb

I know I'm late to the trend but it is so good.I did cheddar and mozzarella and I added Salt and Pepper.

I recommend doing it for 6 minutes and it was really good as I expected

[@Trinitie15]

Oh my gosh I’m so glad I found this video. It’s so good. I just made it, and I’m eating it right now. It’s so good I don’t have cheddar cheese, so I use Parmesan but it’s still really good

ARE YOU A MEL FAN??

[@estelagallegos2359]

IT LOOKS SO GOOD

[@user-qh8ti5jj2q]

I just tried this recipie and it worked really well, the only thing I Would say is that if you want a full mug double the recipie as mine only filled halfway xxx ♡♡

[@yarasakman9790]

Ty it’s so good

[@iku_3]

When I made this, it was completely raw for me because I only microwaved it for a minute. Thanks for the precise timing, it definatly helped!!!❤️

[@joroi1083]

Why in the world 😂😂

[@PPP4LIFER]

At first I thought they like added glue in the cheese but as soon as I tried it it literally tastes so amazing and the cheese pull is better than in the one in the video 10/10 would recommend

[@JanaNaserallah]

I did it and it backfired amazingly

[@-human2]

What happened😭

[@Ramann-f6o]

Cool

[@milk-u8g]

@@milk-u8g makes sense ig

[@JanaNaserallah]

Did u guys try it if so how did it turn out?

[@thatfruitygowrl]

It's a pretty good recipe, i highly recommend, but put a plate under the mug so when it boils over it'll catch the water. For mine i cooked it for about 5 minutes, if you prefer your pasta overcooked rather than the "Al denté" you'd want to cook it longer and add more water. Also keep in mind if you use garlic powder, use a very little amount👀

[@Lettie-k1f]

lol my parents went to Italy and they said sit was so hard and “al dente” Yk that some it’s like (Back round music) bum bum dum dum Singer: aldente

[@DaveMichael496]

I tried and its very good thanks

[@Itssz_Kasy]

I'm REALLY late to this trend but I was hungry and made it, it was SO good I HIGHLY recomend you make it.

[@QuitUser12]

I just tryed it but it’s Soo good💗 ( I recommend adding paprika and a bit more milk for a more cheesy texture and for more flavor

[@GGdorAslay]

[@SimplyyRandom]

This is pretty good! But i didn't heat it up long enough. It was a little bit hard, but that's fine. Definitely would make it again! 😋

[@TheLegendaryToiletFan]

Oh my god, same. This happened to me last year, and I used Swiss cheese and stuff and ugh it was not the best. I’m trying it again, but with more knowledge and better noodles this time. Hope it goes well.

[@angieybarra1734]

It workssss

[@jaylenmerrill436]

This is a nice recipe but the water kind if got everywhere in my microwave and i also do reccomend useing a pot holder to take out of the microwave

[@higuys381]

It’s really yummy 🤤

[@razleaa]

why is it sooo good!!?

[@Ihatesomething]

Add a bit more water and milk them they tell you too. Then in with the American cheese velveeta cabot sharp cheddar and milk and then microwave as told. That makes its a cheesy creamy treat!

[@dollymallika4119]

Best pastaaa ever

[@MikePrentice-z4s]

Ngl this was the best Mac and cheese I have ever had

[@YIPPEE-OOP]

I recommend adding a little bit of pepper

[@LLC7896]

I did it and you definitely want to cook it longer and add butter too. Also from what another person said, put a paper towel to soak the water since it will overflow

[@DashProd.]

Add butter so it will have flavor

[@toiletsponge]

Microwaving pasta is insane

[@BrooklynnSteele-ld8rf]

Yes I am gonna try tomorrow

[@hyeins.strawberry]

10/10 mac n cheese. istg its probably the best one ive had

[@paigepeters6536]

okay, i did this and added a slice of american the second time i made it, and let me tell u it tasted just like Chick-fil-A mac n cheese

[@Val30307]

I have a question I just did mine and the milk did not absorb? What do I do

[@waddellpenn1589]

DOING IT AGAIN 10/10!!

[@That_Christian_Girl1214]

Do you have any tips

[@Th3y_luv_Emery]

I didn’t have cheese so I used sour cream and it was amazing

[@jinxhex]

what.

[@Bobaneal_sugar]

Great

[@josephca3132]

it didnt actually work now my whole microwave is flooded and idk whyyyy

[@URVERYSIGMA_BRENNA]

if you want more flavor add some meat like i added some ham lunch meat it was the perfect touch! ❤

[@danielfreeman8725]

the amount of people freaking out over a 30 second video as if they are replacing their other ones with this is just silly. you aren't obligated to watch every video they post, and threating to unsub because of this just seem so incredibly weird. Some pages I follow posts series of videos I'm not as into, I just ignore them.

[@jiquerez]

Nice strawman you got there...

[@l0lg0tem]

Right when i saw this i went straight to the kitchen😂😂😂

[@branklets1149]

Pls be careful when cooking the pasta in the microwave. You need to keep opening the microwave door so that it doesn’t overflow. The water went everywhere while I was making mine.

[@tishasonii1862]

Sameeee

[@stellabella914]

I put a plate under my mug. Was hard to carry the plate all the way over to the sink, but was easier then cleaning out the whole microwave.

[@berry9989]

Bro the same happens for me

[@cynthiafuentes7165]

I love it I tried it it was delicious

[@nitawillie]

SO GOOD YUMMY

[@randomgirlwholikesrandomthings]

Instructions unclear. My mug ✨EXPLODED✨ in the microwave :|

[@jakantogenie]

Add the cheese first if you are struggling with the ratio

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

It even work with lactose intolerance milk

[@goodmorning2386]

yup! You mean soy milk or almond right? I used that and it was fine :D

[@erinbarnett7379]

I added adobo and salt and it was soooooo good

[@Mayonnaise_jay]

I just ate my first bite and it tasted like HEAVEN😩

[@Kennedyy_4_sure]

I did this and it got my microwave WETTTT

[@Kaitoooi]

Girl ur the real og here

[@Kathy-g3i]

I bought a 50 cent Mainstay Bowl at Walmart and it's perfect for bigger serving.Just macaroni and water .drain. Plus I use a small amount of Great Value Melting Cheese.. Its so rich and creamy!!!! And a little bit of the cheese goes a long way. inexpensive and fast

[@shahnavipandey]

If you are scared about your water boiling over, just coat the top of the mug with oil, the water won't boil over and it'll stay below the line.

[@thatprettytulip]

omg just tried this ,thx so much!

[@Summertimeee3]

Just saying this is actually pretty good from my experience just depends on your microwave and type of cheese you use! Just experiment

[@krishashah3405]

I made it 😁

[@Annoyinglyfav]

Guys I tried this and it was a big fail instead I microwaved the pasta for about 7min to cook then made the sauce with mozzarella cheese milk and butter and added it to the pasta after that I garnished it with oregano Don't forget to cook the pasta with water and remove it before adding sauce

[@Roblox_life233-e4j]

This was delish😂😊

[@artiva1655]

Yum! Im super late but i decide to put some olive oil parmeasan and pesto. It was amazing

[@jclips-]

This recipe worked so well! I used an 8 ounce mug so i doubled all the ingredients and used cheddar cheese. Only slight downside was that there was water in my microwave that i had to clean up a bit, but i probably just added too much water 😂

[@jaylenmerrill436]

I'm trying rn

[@SpaceBandit666]

Even though this just the most basic and straight up mac n cheese that we all know and love, the reality of sadness hits when 1/2 cup of straight up cheese hits the cup. It's like the embodiment of putting Mike Niles 2 time personal chef into a cup and calling it a day.

Just LEAVE

Me too

[@aeinn_.]

@@mattheoriddle-8491 under or over?

[@knockoutfn8328]

Same

[@alfonsa2292]

I added just enough water for the pasta to soften, so the water did overflow but only little so that I could easily wipe it after taking the bowl out. Don’t add too much water.

[@Kellyisthebestrat1]

I did this with spaghetti❤

[@zeeshanahmad259]

Tip make sure to double the amount of water

TYYYY

[@EnerelTseveldorj]

Is ok to do it with oven?

[@URFAVE_MOLLS]

I do this everyday but the cheese sticks to the mug then its hard to clean

If you use butter or anything that you would use to grease a pan, it will work on mugs too
