- sharp cheddar, shredded fresh

## Instructions

1. Cook the pasta about 2 minutes before al dente.
2. Reserve a little pasta water.
3. Shred all cheeses and toss them together in a bowl.
4. Prepare the curry sauce.
5. Add the cooked pasta and cheese to the sauce.
6. Adjust the curry flavor by using 2 to 4 S&B curry blocks.
7. If the sauce is too thick, loosen it with evaporated milk, regular milk, or reserved pasta water.
8. Finish cooking the mac & cheese in the oven.

## Tips

- Cook the pasta about 2 minutes before al dente since it will finish cooking in the oven. Cavatappi or fusilli are ideal, but any shape works. Reserve a little pasta water in case you need to loosen the sauce.
- Always shred your own cheese for the best melt and creaminess, and toss all the cheeses together in a bowl before adding to the sauce.
- Use 2–3 S&B curry blocks depending on your taste: 2 for subtle, 3 for stronger, or even 4 for a bold curry punch.
- The curry blocks naturally thicken the sauce, so if it’s too thick, loosen it with evaporated milk, regular milk, or reserved pasta water.
