Hard Rock Café Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

500g of cavatappi or conchiglie pasta
2,5 cups whole milk
1 cup of Velveeta or "queijo preto", shredded
1 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded (or muzarella cheese)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, ground
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon parsley, minced

Instructions

1. Use a large saucepan to cook pasta following the directions on the package and drain.

2. Combine milk, Velveeta, cheddar cheese, jack cheese, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in the same saucepan, and heat over low heat for about 10 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.

3. Add pasta and then toss.

4. Combine the Parmesan and parsley in small bowl.

5. Pour pasta into a serving bowl and then sprinkle more Parmesan over the top.

Remarks

Velveeta is a type of cheese we don't have in Brazil. We used Queijo Prato instead. Monterey Jack is also not available, so we used mozzarella.
