This is one of those recipes that is commonly called a "dump recipe." This does not meant that you should "dump" it all out into the garbage. Rather, a dump recipe refers to a recipe where you can dump all of the ingredients into bowl or dish together, mix, and go! All you need to make this recipe is:
matzo farfel - instead of noodles
eggs - to add body to the dish and bind the other ingredients together
cheese - because what is mac and cheese without cheese
sour cream - adds moisture and a little zip!
milk
oil
salt/pepper - to taste

Variations and suggestions
This recipe is great by itself. In fact, the last time we made it the whole family gobbled it up before we could serve the rest of the meal. I have eaten some of these when it is not Passover, they are that good. Here are some fun variations and suggestions to try:
- Spinach: Mix in a bag of spinach to add some veggies to the dish.
- Onion: Chop up a medium sized onion and stir it into the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Greek style: Toss in a hand full of feta cheese and black olives to make this a "Greek" Passover mac and cheese. Don't lecture about this suggestion, it is ironic but delicious.
- Complete meal: Serve along side baked salmon and a salad for a complete meal.
- Pizza variant: After the baking is done, pour ½ cup of tomato sauce over the top and put it back into the oven for 5 minutes.
- Italian style: Add 1 tablespoon of garlic powder and ¼ cup of parmesan cheese to the mix before baking.
