4. Cook and stir for a few minutes or until the sauce has thickened. 
5. Turn heat down to low, stir in cheese and spices until cheese is melted. 
6. Stir in cooked macaroni. 

**You can also add other cheeses like parmesan or 1/2 cup jalapeno cheddar cheese (gives just a bit of bite). If it gets too thick, stir in a bit of milk
**It's also delicious to use half-and-half for half of the the amount of milk called for. 
**AMAZING flavor combo: Ricotta, cheddar, swiss, monterey jack... YUM.
