MACARONI CHEESE IN 4 EASY STEPS



Macaroni cheese in 4 easy steps image

A simple step-by-step guide to making a classic supper dish. An old favourite, made with plenty of cheese and a little mustard

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

700ml full-fat milk
1 onion, peeled and halved
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 bay leaf
350g macaroni
50g butter, plus a little extra for greasing
50g plain flour
175g mature cheddar cheese, grated
1 tsp English mustard
50g parmesan, grated
50g coarse white breadcrumb

Steps:

  • Prepare the pasta: In a small pan, warm the milk, onion, garlic and bay leaf until almost boiling. Remove from the heat, leave covered to infuse for 10 mins, then strain. Cook the macaroni according to pack instructions until just soft, but still with a little bite (this is called al dente in Italian). This will take about 10 mins. Drain in a colander, then run under the tap and stir to stop the pasta sticking together.
  • Make a roux: (A roux is simply flour and fat, cooked together, then used to thicken sauces.) Heat oven to 190C/ fan 170C/gas 5 and butter a 25 x 18cm ovenproof dish. Melt the butter in the medium pan. When foaming, add the flour, then cook, stirring constantly, for 1 min on a low heat.
  • Finish the sauce: Slowly stir the warm infused milk into the roux until smooth. Simmer for 3-4 mins, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened and has a coating consistency (run your finger through the sauce on a spoon - it should leave a trail). Remove the pan from the heat, then add the cheddar and mustard powder. Season, then stir until the cheese has melted.
  • Assemble and bake: Mix the cheesesauce through the macaroni to coat it well, then tip into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan and breadcrumbs over the top, then bake for 15-20 mins until golden brown and bubbling. Serve piping hot on its own or with a green salad.
  • EQUIPMENT: 1 small saucepan with lid, 1 large saucepan, 1 medium saucepan, colander, chopping board, sharp knife, grater, wooden spoon, ovenproof dish

BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE

A friend of mine sent this recipe to me when I got my first apartment, because she knows how much I hate cooking! It's really easy -- even I can make it -- and tastes great. I'm not sure where she found the recipe, but it included the note 'Good source of protein, vitamin A, B group vitamins, calcium.'

BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE



Baked Macaroni and Cheese image

A traditional mac and cheese. Bake it with your favorite cheeses, veggies or meats for a one-dish wonder.

Provided by Rachel Ballard

Categories     Side Dish

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups dry elbow macaroni (shells or cavatappi)
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups milk (not skim)
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
2 cups shredded cheese (I like sharp cheddar and Swiss, or freeze dried (see Note 3))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil; add a generous sprinkling of salt the pasta.
  • While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a skillet or pot large enough to hold the pasta when it's done.
  • Add the flour and stir over medium heat until the mixture is lightly browned; 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the milk and whisk to remove any lumps and add the salt and pepper.
  • Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce thickens and starts to bubble. About 6 minutes.
  • Stir in the cheese and whisk until smooth and melted. Turn off the heat.
  • When the pasta is almost done but still firm, drain it and add to the sauce.
  • Stir the pasta into the sauce and bake in a greased 2 quart dish (or an 8x8 pan works pretty well) 20-25 minutes until browned and bubbly. You can also skip baking it if you want it super creamy and just put it under the broiler to brown the top (keep an eye on it) and then serve.
