Ingredients
12 ounces spiral pasta or elbow macaroni
½ cup whole milk
8 ounces shredded pepper jack cheese
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spiral pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander and return it to the pot.
Pour the whole milk into the pot with the hot pasta and stir well. Add the shredded pepper jack cheese in handfuls, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.
Season the mac and cheese with salt and black pepper to your taste. Stir to combine thoroughly.
Transfer to serving bowls and serve immediately while hot.
