Martha Stewart's 'Cheater's Mac and Cheese' simplifies the classic dish by using just six ingredients and taking only 20 minutes to prepare. The key components include pasta, cream cheese, broccoli, butter, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. The recipe is designed to be quick and easy, with a one-pot cooking method and the option to use frozen broccoli for convenience. Despite minor challenges with measuring cheese and whisking the sauce, the dish remains a favorite for quick comfort food, perfect for those lazy cooking days.
