Receta Macaroni Pie
Stop what you are doing and make this Macaroni Pie ASAP. This is hands-down THE BEST mac & cheese EVER. It is made with thin spaghetti instead of elbow macaroni and has tons and tons of ooey, gooey cheese. Chicken Legs could not stop raving about this dish! He has requested that we only serve this mac & cheese from now on. We served this as a side dish, but you could add some ham or chicken to the pasta and make this a main dish.
This makes a TON of cheesy pasta. You could easily half the recipe if you don't need to feed a crowd. I baked this in a 12-inch cast iron skillet. If you don't have a large cast iron skillet, you could use a 9x13-inch pan.
