Many of the recipes we make in the Sparkle Eats kitchen make quite a few servings and sometimes they are difficult to cut down for only two servings, especially macaroni and cheese. We’ve adjusted the recipe to feed two, so if you’re havinga date night or even just looking for something different to make for a weeknight dinner, give this small-batch recipe a try.
