Dear Lanie J-

How can I dress up shitty boxed mac 'n' cheese?

-Hopeless Bachelor

Well, HB, I hate to say it, but boxed mac 'n' cheese might just be the very reason you're a bachelor in the first place......lemme see what I can do.

Stay Easy,

Lanie J

OK, let's do this:

Not-so-hopeless Mac 'n' Cheese
serves 4 (or 2 if you're famished from passionate love making ignited by this oh-so-romantic recipe)
total time 10 min

1 box of Whole Foods' Shells & Cheese
2 handfuls broccoli florets
1 handful spinach
2 T butter
4 T sour cream (the box calls for milk - use sour cream or half & half instead)
pinch cayenne
salt, pepper, to taste
1 handful asiago or parmesan cheese, shredded

Boil the shells for 5 min.  Add broccoli and boil for exactly 1 1/2 more minutes.  Drain and pour back into the pot.  Stir in cheese packet that comes with the box, butter, sour cream and spinach, cayenne, salt and papper.  Pour into a baking dish and top with shredded cheese.  Broil until cheese gets bubbly (2 min).
