Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Tomato Sauce | Recipe Treasure

Who doesn’t heart a comforting treat of mac and cheese? My kids are not an exception either! The plain flavors of this classic pasta dish have its own gastronomic appeal, but few add-ons give it a yummier makeover! A dash of tomato-laced ragu sauce works wonder to the pasta and my kids gobbled up this version of macaroni and cheese in no time! The freshness of the basil and the crunchy outer crust complemented the tart sauce and made the ensemble taste yummier. It’s a simple yet delicious dish which gets ready in less than 30 minutes – what more can a busy Mom like me ask for!
