💭 Ingredient Substitution

While this Mac & Cheese recipe is pretty basic and only requires a handful of simple ingredients, you can make a few substitutions if this recipe being an exact replica of the Chick-fil-A recipe is not that important to you. You can omit the romano cheese for an equal amount of parmesan. If you don't have any Colby Jack Cheese, you can use some Cheddar Jack Cheese.

💭 What is Al Dente

When making Mac and Cheese, it's important to cook the pasta al dente to ensure to best texture possible. If you are not familiar with the term "al dente", it means cooking the pasta so it's still chewy and form and that it will hold its shape when the sauce is added to it.
