Instructions

1. Put the macaroni in a medium saucepan or skillet with just enough cold water to cover. Add a pinch of salt, bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often. Keep cooking and stirring until most of the water is absorbed and the macaroni is just short of al dente, about 6 minutes.
2. Add the evaporated milk and bring to a boil. Add the cheese, reduce heat to low and stir constantly until the cheese melts and the liquid becomes a creamy sauce, about 2 more minutes. Season with more salt to taste and serve right away.
