The shelves at the grocery store may not be well-stocked due to the looting of goods and protest action that overwhelmed KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng last week. We can make do and whip up some fine dishes with these easy and simple 3-ingredient recipes. Here are three easy 3 ingredient recipes to try.
Mac ‘n cheese
By @foodandecstasy
Mac ‘n cheese is everyone’s go-to comfort food. This recipe is super streamlined and uses only key ingredients, so it has all the familiar flavours from the dish. To spice things up, add your favourite hot sauce and seasonings for an extra kick.
Ingredients
Ground black pepper (optional)
Salt (if required)
Method
Cook the macaroni in the milk instead of water, until al dente. Add salt if your pasta doesn't contain salt. If it does, skip the salt.
Once al dente, add the cheese. Six processed cheese cubes or eight slices will be about 150g. The sauce will come together once the cheese melts, giving that classic creamy texture. Season with ground black pepper.

Spoon Nutella into a bowl, add the eggs and whisk until smooth.
