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.
