Cook macaroni in large pot on stovetop to al dente, as per package directions. *I add a little (1 tsp) olive oil to prevent it from sticking, but that's optional.
When cooked, drain macaroni through colander.
Return to pot or casserole dish and add tomatoes.
Mix tomatoes into macaroni.
Top with shredded cheese.
Bake macaroni and cheese with tomatoes on middle rack under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned (to your preference). * I put a cookie sheet underneath to prevent spills from dripping down. * Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Serve hot.
Notes
*Al dente pasta is firm when bitten without being hard or chalky. Please see post contents (above) for important recipe tips, substitutions and step-by-step image instructions.
