Instructions
- Cook the macaroni pasta following the instructions on the package. When the pasta is al dente drain to remove the water.

- On a separate bowl whisk one egg and add this to the mac n cheese preparation. Stir to combine well. Let the mc n cheese get cold or at room temperature so that you can easily make the mac n cheese bites.
- With a spoon take some of the mac n cheese and make a ball, then dust with the Italian style breadcrumbs.
