COMFORT food with minimal prep is perfect for winter.
Try these cheap and easy microwave mug recipes for a tasty and simple treat.
Before you start, find a large mug that is microwave safe.
MICRO MAC ’N’ CHEESE: Macaroni cheese is the ultimate comfort meal. Whip up a mug version with one third of a cup of dried pasta and half a cup of water mixed together.
Microwave for six minutes but stop and stir every two minutes so the water is absorbed and pasta just under-cooked.
Add a quarter of a cup of milk and the same measure of shredded cheese, then microwave for another two minutes.
