While we’re sharing does anyone have a fast no faff tasty macaroni cheese recipe please?

Fry mince and cook pasta, drain pasta and mix with the mince. Stir in a tub of cream cheese, a tin of chopped tomatoes (and perhaps a squeeze of tomato purée if a stronger taste is needed) and a sachet of taco seasoning and heat through. Sprinkle grated cheese to the top before serving.

I don’t know what you mean by no faff (no fat?) but this is what I used. You can replace the cheese but it probably won’t be as creamy

Ingredients:
Hot cooked pasta.
Tin of anchovies.

Method:
Stir.

About as simple as you can get and bloody lovely.

No faff meaning no fuss/easy

But I’ll check that recipe out thank you :)
I love cheese so wouldn’t dream of swapping it out 😬

Thank you 😊

The recipe is good, not my favorite but it is what I use since I am trying to improve my blood pressure and my kids love Mac n cheese

I fry the chicken rather than bake though!

@Rummikub I recently cooked a mac cheese in the slow cooker - after a recommendation from a work colleague. Will try and find and link the recipe. It as dead easy and lush

Pan fry pancetta and broccoli florets in garlic while pasta is cooking.
Mix with a little sprinkle of chilli flakes
Grated Parmesan

Done, kids wolf it - in rare event of leftovers kids love it cold next day for packed lunch

Put pasta and chopped up broccoli in the same pan and boil for 10 mins then drain, add creme fraiche, loads of black pepper and Parmesan then stir vigorously so the broccoli starts to break apart. YUM.

Easiest

Pasta
boiling water
cream cheese

Cook the pasta, when cooked turn off but don't drain yet
put cream cheese in a frying pan and heat (about 1/2 tub per person).

Add 2-3 desert spoons of the pasta cooking water and stir, drain the pasta and add tot he frying pan or put both in a dish and stir.

This can be made better by frying something in the pan before adding the cream cheese eg mushrooms, bacon, peas, salt and pepper.

You can also add after the cream cheese things that need little cooking time like smoked salmon (buy the offcuts), parmesan or fresh herbs.

@HillaryWhitney
Thank you
I don’t have a slow cooker - would it work in a pan with adjustments?
Lush sounds yum!

Ah! I didn't think I would have this many to come back to Thank you all so much! I'm determined to give all of these a go. Nice and easy, we love pasta at home too!
