Steps:
- Special equipment: 20 small skewers or cocktail toothpicks
- Fill a pitcher with hot water. Dip a knife into the hot water and slice the goat cheese log in half lengthwise.

Tips:
- Cook the macaroni al dente: This will ensure that the pasta is still slightly firm when it is skewered and baked, preventing it from becoming mushy.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Combining different types of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, will create a more complex and flavorful mac and cheese.
- Add some seasonings: A simple blend of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will enhance the flavor of the mac and cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the skewers: Make sure to leave enough space between the macaroni pieces on the skewers so that they cook evenly.
- Bake the skewers until golden brown: This will give the mac and cheese a crispy exterior and a gooey interior.
