Three-ingredient stovetop macaroni and cheese

Put the macaroni in a medium saucepan or skillet and add just enough cold water to cover.

Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently.

Cook, stirring, until the pasta is almost cooked through and the water has nearly dried up, about 6 minutes.

Add the evaporated milk and bring to a boil.

Add the cheese, lower the heat and stir vigorously until a creamy sauce forms; loosen with a splash of water if it thickens.
