Kraft Kitchens Tips

Special Extra

Stir 1/4 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne) into cheese sauce before adding to cooked pasta.

Note

The KRAFT Singles are melted in the reserved pasta cooking water for a quick cheesy sauce. For best results, the Singles must be completely melted before adding the sauce to the other ingredients in skillet.
