Kraft Macaroni and Cheese consists of macaroni pasta and a powdered cheese sauce mix. The pasta is made from enriched durum wheat semolina, which gives it a firm texture when cooked. The cheese sauce mix is made from a blend of natural and artificial flavors, as well as various spices and coloring agents.
To prepare Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, the pasta is boiled in water until it is cooked al dente. Once the pasta is cooked, it is drained and then mixed with the cheese sauce mix. The cheese sauce mix is added to the pasta along with milk and butter, which helps create a creamy and flavorful sauce.
