These Carbs Don't Count
June 6, 2025
This Cheesy Baked Pink Macaroni is the ultimate comfort food mashup—creamy, cheesy, and topped with a golden crust. It starts with a base of garlic-scented butter and a tomato-infused cream sauce, layered with four kinds of cheese: cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and velveeta. Tossed with perfectly cooked pasta and baked until bubbling and golden, it’s rich, indulgent, and incredibly satisfying. Perfect for any cheese lover craving a fun twist on mac and cheese.
