To be honest…now that it’s (almost) summer, I love to take advantage of all the wonderful produce and herbs available in the farmers markets and make pasta dishes that incorporate them. If you have really fresh stuff–all you need is a little good olive oil, some herbs to taste and your favorite veggies tossed in.

Not really creative, but quick and easy…mixing a batch of mac and cheese with a can of drained albacore tuna fish and jalepeno peppers. Yummy.

similar to ThornGenX:
Kraft mac-n-cheese, add one can of tuna and a can of condensed mushroom soup. Throw it all together and heat.
other good fresh produce additions: cucumbers and tomatoes

There’s a recipe for a Southwestern-style mac & cheese made using salsa. recipe from the kitchen of Rick Bayless, of Frontera Grill/Topolobampo in Chicago, considered by some the best Mexican restaurant outside of Mexico.

Ah, macaroni and cheese!
One thing to remember about macaroni and cheese;
However creative you might be;
If not properly prepared;
It will bend you to your knees!

there is no way to beat Stouffers Mac and cheese, so I don’t even try. If I get creative it is in the side dish combinations I serve with it.

My mom used to mix ground beef (as for meat loaf), flatten it out, lay it over a casserole dish of prepared mac and cheese and bake. You got a meaty top and hot mac and cheese underneath. My brothers and I loved it.
