Mac and Cheese with Chicken
I love stove top Mac & Cheese. I love the baked version too but this version is so quick and easy and adding shredded rotisserie chicken adds a whole new flavour dimension.
When we went to Italy a few years ago, we had a Pasta making class at the place we stayed at and they placed great emphasis on using the Pasta water almost as an ingredient to aid in emulsifying the sauce which results in a silky sauce that is thicker, creamier and clings better to the Pasta. So in this recipe we reserve some of the Pasta Water and add it to the sauce to help emulsify it.
