Mac & Cheese on Acid

I have never met anyone who doesn't like this!  And this non-recipe gives you the chance to be as creative as you want to be.  You can always add leftovers to compliment this dish as well.

1 box of Mac  & Cheese (the kind with the cheese included, not the powdered stuff)
Start boiling water and add some evoo and a little salt
Here is where it gets fun: Prepare whatever you want to go with it.  Hamburger, Italian sausage, ham, salami, pepperoni, shrimp, whatever you like for you meat eaters.  My favorite is turkey burger.  If you're a vegetarian, peas, mushrooms, green beans, peppers, sliced red onions, etc. are a great alternative.  Have fun, it's your choice!

Boil the noodles and follow the directions on the box depending on your altitude.
When done, add the cheese...and here is the secret: then mix in some marinara or vodka sauce and toss.  Once you've made it a light pinkish color, add your side ingredient(s).  Think of it as a pizza without the bread.  Serve in a bowl because it will stay warm much longer.  And I guarantee those bowls will come back for more!

Enjoy.
