Do you recall the popular TikTok Feta Pasta? With a rich, four-cheese mac and cheese, we’re giving the classic place-and-bake pasta technique new life. You can make a creamy, crowd-pleasing side dish in less than an hour that is even quicker to put together than the box you buy at the store (but so much delicious). You are welcome to add some truffle oil or sprinkle crumbled Ritz crackers on top.

Ingredients
- ½ (8 ounce) package Fontina cheese
- ½ (8 ounce) package sharp Cheddar cheese
- 2 cups uncooked macaroni
- 1 ½ cups half-and-half
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup shredded white Cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place blocks of Fontina and sharp Cheddar cheeses in the center of an ungreased, 9-inch square baking dish. Pour pasta into the dish, spreading evenly around the cheese. Pour half-and-half directly on top of the pasta and stir until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then top with shredded white Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, spreading evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Pull the dish out of the oven, stir in milk, and mix until noodles, cheese, and sauce are evenly combined. Return to the oven and cook until golden and bubbly, about 25 minutes more.
- Stir and serve immediately.
- You can use water instead of milk, if desired.

Reviews
Noodles didn’t cook all the way. Oily and grainy consistency. Not worth the time or money!
It’s not bad, I’d suggest adding more liquid and a bit of cream cheese. Adds good flavor
Tasty but very grainy
OMG! It turned out perfect for me
