5. Cook the pasta to the packet instructions and once cooked, drain well.
6. Add the cooked and drained pasta back to the pot and pour over the cheese sauce.
7. Mix well and add to an oven-safe dish.
8. Sprinkle a handful of panko breadcrumbs over the top, followed by the remaining grated cheese and then another handful of panko.

Mitch is smart... Yes he asks for basic things... Knowing Andy's nature to make it special.

The "Basic Mitch 🙄" killed me 😂

[maribeth]

Basic recipes turn into fab ones. Basic Mitch no more 😆
“Where’s the ribs?” 😂
Thanks for sharing, chef!

As a Mac and Cheese enthusiast I appreciate Mitch's choice.

[danielmajer]

Mitch is not basic. Gives you simple dishes to not to work too much in the kitchen and can hang out with you more. Mitch loves ya!

My parents’ favorite meals were Macaroni and Cheese and Meatloaf. After leaving home, and returning for visits, if I made one, I also had to make the other, or be accused of favoritism. 😂 Brings back memories!

I am so loving the “Basic Mitch” series 😂❤

[sealofapoorval]

Call him basic but I relate to Mitch more than to Babe. Mitch is the college student in all of us 😂

[BiscuitBoi]

Not many things as satisfying as seeing the recipe match exactly how you do it 🎉

Andy: “Mitch, watta you wanna eat?”

Mitch: “Twice baked potatoes, ribeye medium rare, mixed veg and a soufflé for dessert.”

Andy: “Basic, Mitch..”

[PranjalAwasthi]

Basic Mitch never fails to make me chuckle 😂😂

[vincentd.mercille]

"Basic Mitch" videos are the best because that's when Andy gets to show off how he can make the simplest recipe ridiculously gourmet.

Mitch goes to Andy for comfort food.

So sweet!

We need a video of Mitch ordering something complicated, and chef preparing the most basic version of it.

In that context I would love to see you cook „Käsespätzle“. That is actually sort of close to mac & cheese and still not at all. It is a very common dish in the south of Germany and one of my favorites. Missing it a lot while spending one year abroad in Ecuador.

Greetings Andy and keep up the amazing work!

[Angelrat]

The amount of butter melts my heart. Literally!

[swervon]

Mac & cheese, collard greens, and cornbread with a side of ribs would be a perfect plate

[JaceHarnage]

Now, that's proper mac-n-cheese!! ❤

I've been at sea for a month, hoping Babe is still around. I like her choice of food.
