Follow The Directions

01

Step

Cook macaroni pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well. (10-12 minutes)

02

Step

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the grated Cheddar cheese, plain yogurt, butter, and tomatoes. Cook until smooth and creamy, stirring frequently. (5-7 minutes)

03

Step

Add salt, black pepper, basil, and celery seed to taste, then gently fold in the cooked pasta. Ensure all the macaroni is coated evenly with the cheese sauce. (2-3 minutes)

04

Step

Turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let it sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to maintain its creamy texture. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Serve hot and enjoy this comforting classic.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce.
To achieve an even smoother sauce, consider using a hand blender to puree the melted cheese and tomato mixture before adding the pasta.
If you prefer a crusty top, transfer the macaroni and cheese to a baking dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown. (15-20 minutes)
