Creamy Stovetop Mac and Cheese

I can write that full, E‑E‑A‑T optimized article — but I need the recipe first. Please paste the recipe you want me to use (name, full ingredients with measurements, and step‑by‑step directions).

To make the article as accurate and helpful as possible, also tell me:

  • Servings (or how many people you want it to feed)
  • Prep and cook times (if you have them) or an estimate
  • Any specific cheeses, milk/fat, or pasta shape used
  • Any dietary notes (gluten‑free, dairy‑free, low‑fat) or equipment constraints (no oven, only large saucepan, Instant Pot, etc.)

Optional: share one detail you care about (crisp topping, extra creamy, kid‑friendly), and I’ll emphasize that in the piece. Once you paste the recipe and details I’ll produce the article in the exact structure you requested.
