Ingredients

• 1 pack Instant ramen noodles
• 1 box Kraft Dinner Mac and Cheese
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 cups Water
• 2 stalks Scallions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (optional for flavor enhancement)
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Directions

Step 1

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot and add the instant ramen noodles. Discard the flavor packet or set it aside for another use.

Step 2

Cook the ramen noodles for 2-3 minutes until tender, then drain the noodles and set them aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, bring 1.5 cups of milk and 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the powdered cheese packet from the Kraft Dinner box to the milk and butter mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth cheese sauce forms.

Step 5

Add the cooked ramen noodles and the uncooked Kraft Dinner macaroni to the cheese sauce in the pot, stirring well to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the mixture cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the macaroni cooks evenly and absorbs the cheese sauce.

Step 7

Optional: Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for a savory depth of flavor and sprinkle in 0.5 teaspoons of crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of spice.

Step 8

Once fully cooked, portion the Ichi Kraft Ramen and Kraft Dinner mixture into bowls. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, flavorful fusion dish immediately.
