Method to make easy mac and cheese in a mug:
Add ⅙ tsp of cornstarch in the milk and stir until it dissolves properly.
Microwave it until the water absorbs and the pasta is fully cooked. It takes about 4 minutes to get cooked completely. First, put the pasta in the microwave for 2 minutes and stir it. Then keep it in for 1 minute and stir again. Lastly, keep it for 1 more minute and stir.
Later, add ⅓ cup of milk in the mug and ½ cup grated cheese. Mix it well.
Microwave it for the final 30-60 seconds. Add pepper to taste and mix everything well so the macaroni is coated properly with the creamy sauce. Serve it hot and enjoy it.

Notes
Use your favorite cheese and grate it or use the store-bought as per your choice.
Always keep a check on the macaroni in the mug when it is in the microwave so it does not get overcooked or overflow.
Try adding a pinch or ⅙ tsp of cornstarch in the milk to make the sauce thicker.
