To make this mac and cheese, I started by pouring some uncooked cavatappi noodles into a large pot.

I added some water to the pot.

I also added some milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to the pot.

I stirred all of the ingredients together well.

I placed the pot on the stove over high heat and brought the liquid to a boil, while stirring every couple minutes to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.

Once the liquid was boiling, I reduced the heat to medium.

I continued cooking the pasta and stirring every couple minutes until the noodles were tender.

Then I added a can of condensed cheddar soup to the pot.

I stirred well.

I removed the pot from the heat and added some shredded cheddar, mozzarella and grated parmesan to the pot.

I stirred until the cheese was melted.

I placed 8 Ritz crackers in a Ziploc bag. 

I used a rolling pin to crush the crackers.

I sprinkled the Ritz cracker crumbs on top of the mac and cheese.

I also sprinkled some grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top.

Then the stove top mac and cheese was ready to serve.

This mouthwatering dish combines perfectly cooked cavatappi noodles with a rich and velvety cheese sauce, all prepared in just one pot for a hassle-free and satisfying meal.

Each bite is a harmonious blend of gooey cheddar and smooth creaminess, creating a symphony of flavors that will transport you to a world of cheesy delight.
