- 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tsp Onion Powder
- 1 Tsp Smoked Paprika (or your choice of seasonings)
- 400 ml Fat Free Evaporated Milk (Carnation Light & Creamy)

Tips
- Make sure to stir the pot from start to finish the entire time to ensure none of the pasta gets stuck at the bottom.
- Towards the end, once all the cheese mixes have been added, if at any point the consistency is too thick you can always add a bit more evaporated milk to make it creamier.
- When reheating, add a drop of milk and stir it together. This will help the pasta warm up and become creamy again without splitting.
