## Tips

- Make sure to stir the pot from start to finish the entire time, this will ensure none of the pasta gets stuck at the bottom.
- Towards the end once all the cheese mixes have been added in 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 & stir it together. This will help the pasta warm up & become creamy again without splitting.
