Preparation

Step 1

1Add salt to 3 quarts of water and bring to a boil.
2Once the water comes to a boil, add the elbow macaroni, stirring occasionally.
3Cook macaroni for about 6-8 minutes, or until desired tenderness. (I prefer al dente').
4While macaroni is cooking, using a cheese grater, finely grate 2 cups of Fontinella cheese.
5Pour finished macaroni into a strainer, and strain out all the water.
6Place butter in the bottom of a medium mixing bowl, and pour macaroni on top of it. Mix until all the macaroni is coated with butter.
7Finally, gradually mix in the grated Fontinella cheese, mixing together with a fork, until all the macaroni is covered with the now-melted cheese.
8Enjoy!
