MICROWAVE MACARONI AND CHEESE
A nice microwave alternative to baked macaroni and cheese. Vary the recipe by using farfalle, fusilli, or rotini pasta. You may add cooked chicken or tuna to this recipe for a more hearty meal.

Steps:
- In a large pot with boiling salted water cook the elbow macaroni until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a 2-quart microwave-safe covered casserole dish, cook the onions and butter or margarine on high for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the cooked and drained pasta, milk, and cubed cheese and stir. Cook for 11 to 12 minutes on high, stirring well after 4, 8, and 11 minutes. The mixture will still be runny at this stage. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Let stand for 5-8 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cools slightly.

MICROWAVE MAC AND CHEESE
This from-scratch mac and cheese cooks in one bowl, and you don't have to boil the macaroni or cook the cheese sauce separately. Plus, it's ready in less than half an hour. A blend of American and Jack cheeses makes the sauce smooth and tangy.

Steps:
- Stir the macaroni, 1 cup of the milk and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe 4-quart bowl. (It is important that you use a bowl large enough to prevent the milk from boiling over.) Cover tightly with plastic wrap; cut a small slit in the center with the tip of a paring knife to vent excess steam. Microwave on high (at 100 percent power) for 4 minutes in either an 1,100- or a 700-watt oven. Uncover (be careful to avoid the hot steam) and stir. Cover and microwave on high (at 100 percent power) until the macaroni is about two-thirds cooked, a little harder than al dente, 1 1/2 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 3 1/2 minutes in a 700-watt oven.
- Add the remaining cup of milk, American cheese, Jack cheese, Parmesan, cream cheese and mustard. Stir well, cover tightly and microwave on high (at 100 percent power) until all the cheeses have melted, 4 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 4 1/2 in a 700-watt oven. Stir until thoroughly combined. If there are still some pieces of unmelted cheese, microwave again, covered, in 30-second increments. (The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits.) If desired, transfer to a decorative dish for serving.

- Add the macaroni, water, and salt to a microwave-safe bowl (I prefer to use a plastic, BPA-free storage container with handles). Microwave (uncovered) on high for 2 minutes, then stir carefully. While the pasta cooks, watch to be sure that the water doesn't foam over the sides of the bowl: if it does, simply open the microwave, remove the bowl (see Recipe Note #2), and stir carefully. If the pasta dries out during the cook time, add an additional 2 tbsp. of water and stir to loosen.
- Continue microwaving and stirring at 2-minute intervals for a total of 6 minutes. Carefully check (IT'S HOT!) to see if the macaroni is soft enough for your taste. If not, continue microwaving for 2-minute intervals, if necessary—up to a total of 10 minutes—until the macaroni is just under al dente. This cooking time will vary considerably depending on the wattage of your microwave.
- Stir in the milk, along with the mustard, herbs, and hot sauce or paprika (if using). Microwave for 30 seconds more. Stir the American cheese and cream (if using); microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Stir in the cheddar cheese (it may not all melt right away); cover the bowl, letting it stand for 3 minutes. Stir well, sprinkle with black pepper (if using), and serve immediately.
