Trader Joe's Green Goddess dressing is so popular, it was only a matter of time before they turned this magic in a bottle into a cheese form! This mac & cheese recipe is so versatile that you can add as many different cheeses as you'd like! Flippin' Pat hopes you enjoy!

Yes! Cook the noodles in the milk. I ended up having to add about a cup and a half of water as it absorbed most of the milk fairly quickly. I also did 2 tablespoons of butter and cream cheese instead of teaspoons and it worked out. Also added in 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and it was great!

Same question as Greg. Should the macaroni be cooked prior to adding to the milk? Thanks! Looks delicious.

When the macaroni is added to the bubbling milk mixture has it already been cooked in water?
