Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ounce cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar
- 2 slices American cheese
- 3 cups cooked cavatappi pasta
Instructions
- Heat the heavy cream, cream cheese and garlic salt in a medium cast-iron skillet over high heat. As the edges start to bubble, gently whisk the cream cheese until it is evenly incorporated into the heavy cream, about 1 minute. Allow to cook for 15 seconds so the mixture thickens. Add the Cheddar and American cheese and continue whisking. Pour the sauce over the pasta, stir and serve immediately!

Reviews
Tried it it was good loved how easy it was will do again I love the way it worked out had extra noodles didn’t know what to do with them it was what we needed
Probably a rookie mistake but the sauce was done way faster than the pasta. You can start the sauce with like 5 minutes to go on the pasta. This is good stuff! I had it with leftover pot roast from Rae Drummond.
W ex And okay aaq
Melanie B., 3 cups cooked pasta is obviously about 3 cups dried
I used Unexpected Cheddar from Trader Joe’s instead of the regular sharp, and mixed some Panko with some italian seasonings, put it over the pasta and sauce in the pan and broiled it for a minute. Restaurant-quality. It’s SOOOOOOOOOO good. This is my new favorite mac and cheese recipe.
Love it!
So good & SOO easy!
Easy and delicious!

Made it with less macaroni (16 oz) and added 3/4 cup chopped bacon and 2 tbsp of freshly ground black pepper and it was amazing! Definitely my new go-to mac & cheese!
