Mac & cheese is probably one of my all-time favorite foods. There's so many different ways to make it, and whatever method, pasta, or the cheese that is used, it's hard to resist the bowl of cheesy and creamy goodness. There's many labor-intensive versions that require making a bechamel sauce or using the broiler to form a crunchy crust, but this recipe allows you to achieve both the creaminess and the crunchiness in a short amount of time, using just one pot and one skillet! The added heat from the seasoning elevates the good old mac & cheese to another level, with the spices cutting through the richness of the dish. If you make a huge batch, you can reheat the pasta later, but make sure you keep the panko breadcrumbs in a separate container to keep them dry and crunchy. Feel free to add more cornstarch to achieve the consistency of your preference!
