- Boil the Macaroni- In your favourite big mug, add the Macaroni, Milk, Water, Salt, and Oil. Microwave it first for 30 seconds. Mix well. Microwave again for 30 seconds. The macaroni should double in size as it boils and covers the cup at least ¾. Give it a good mix. You can microwave it for additional 30 seconds if it’s still not cooked through.
- Add Del Monte Classic Mayo- Once the Macaroni is cooked, add in Del Monte Classic Mayo along with seasoning- pepper, red chili flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley. Mix well.
- Add the Cheese- Add half grated mozzarella cheese on top. Give it a mix. Now add the remaining mozzarella cheese on top along with some cheddar. This will form the cheesy crust on top once baked.
- Microwave – At full power, microwave for the first 1 minute. If the cheese does not look set on top, microwave for another 30 seconds. Make sure not to burn the cheese on top.
- Serving- Serve the Mac n cheese in the mug topped with some Oregano, Chilli Flakes, an extra drizzle of Del Monte Classic Mayo, and fresh basil leaves. Toast some Multigrain bread on the sides with butter to make it a wholesome meal.
Notes
1.While boiling the Macaroni in milk and water, make sure to run the microwave in bursts of 30 seconds to avoid the milk boiling off and creating a mess inside the microwave.
2.Mix in Del Monte Classic Mayo well with the boiled Macaroni to coat it till the bottom of the mug. Don’t forget to season it at this point, to ensure the flavors spread evenly.
3.While cooking with cheese, you can Microwave in bursts of 30 seconds to ensure that the cheese doesn’t burn on top. Microwave power is very high, so it is always recommended to run it for a very short duration at one go.
4.Use a microwave-safe mug for the recipe. Also, the mug can be hot after cooking, be careful if kids are handling it.
Enjoy your meal!
