Mac & Cheese recipe: http://thedamntrueexperiment.blogspo...ight-cook.html

Mac & Cheese

Hardware
  • Saucepan
  • Pasta Boiling Pot
  • Baking Dish (10")

Software
  • 5tbsp butter
  • 4tbsp flour
  • 4c Milk
  • 1/2lb Cavatappi Pasta
  • 1.5c English Cheddar (grated)
  • 1.5c Gruyere (grated)
  • 2Tbsp of your favorite Hot Sauce (I like Palo Alto Firefighters Pepper Sauce)
  • Salt & Pepper
In the saucepan, make a simple bechamel using the butter, flour & milk. Add the hot sauce and salt & pepper to taste and set aside the bechamel sauce. Boil the pasta and reserve ~1/2c of the pasta water before draining. Fold the bechamel and grated cheese into the pasta, add a bit of the pasta water if needed to keep things creamy & moist. Spray your baking dish with a bit of Pam or butter it then pour the pasta, sauce, cheese mix into the dish. As an option you can top the dish with more cheese or a buttered breadcrumb topping, I prefer it without either. Bake at 400deg until bubbly and the top begins to brown.
