Instructions:

1. In a large microwavable mug or large bowl add in the macaroni and the water. You need a large mug as the water will boil up.

3. Pour off the remaining water.
   
4. Stir in the milk, cornstarch, cheeses and microwave for a final 60 seconds to create your sauce. Stir well, season with salt and pepper and enjoy.

6. Always keep a close eye on your mug while in the microwave so it doesn’t over flow or over cook.

8. Top with mini pepperonis and broil for 3 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
