![]() I was however impressed by its ease and the spot-on pasta to broth ratio as the mac turned out perfectly al dente! I would definitely try this again with some modifications: either adding some milk (regular or evaporated) and a bit more sour cream, and perhaps a few sprigs of thyme in the cooking portion. I followed this recipe closely and would really rate this recipe 2.5 forks because it wasn't creamy and it was rather bland despite having some tang from the sour cream, sharp cheddar, and dry mustard.
