I have an aunt who used to use cream cheese with macaroni. The recipe
was very simple. She would boil macaroni until it was tender, then drain
it thoroughly, return it to the pot, and add two or three pats of butter
and some cream cheese, then melt it gently by stirring it over a low
heat until the cream cheese was thoroughly mixed into the macaroni and
all melted through. This went well with tuna salad sandwiches. I never
met anyone else who made macaroni that way, and it sounds strange, but
its actually pretty good, and very easy to make.

That being said, if I had some extra cream cheese, I would go out and
buy some bagels and some lox and enjoy it for breakfast the next day.
