Macaroni, Tomato and Cheese image

My mom used to make this whenever we came home from church and I still love it. I found out later that she mainly only made it because it was quick and easy. The best part about this recipe is that it is versatile. I never measure the pasta or cheese. If you like lots of tomatoes then use less pasta. If you like lots of cheese then grate more to throw in.

Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups macaroni (or other pasta)
1 (15 -28 ounce) can tomatoes (diced or whole and manually cut up)
1 -3 cup cheese (grated)
milk (optional)
margarine (or butter) (optional)
salt (optional)
pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta however long you prefer it (ex. al dente) then drain.
  • While boiling the pasta open the can of tomatoes. If whole then cut into up to make them bite-size or smaller.
  • While boiling grate the cheese. I make sure I have enough to coat the pasta when stirred in later.
  • After draining the pasta add the tomatoes and the cheese. I leave the pot on burner on simmer to help warm up the tomatoes and melt the cheese. Stir in so it all melts together. You can add milk if you want more liquid than the tomatoes had.
  • (optional) Add butter, margarine, salt or pepper either when mixing or as each person prefers on their plate.
  • Enjoy!

The macaroni was overcooked and the cheese sauce was too thick. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste, but it was still a good starting point. I added some garlic and Italian seasoning to the sauce, and it was much better.

I'm not a huge fan of macaroni and cheese, but this dish was really good! The tomatoes and cheese complemented each other perfectly, and the pasta was cooked just right.

This dish was easy to make and very delicious. I added some chopped spinach and mushrooms to the sauce, and it was a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

This macaroni, tomato, and cheese dish was a hit with my family! The flavors melded together perfectly, and the pasta was cooked al dente. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
