Michael Voltaggios Spanish Inspired Mac Cheesequot Recipes

MAC AND "CHEESE"

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season generously with salt. Add the pasta and cook for 3 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the cauliflower and onions and saute until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the water or stock, bring to a simmer and simmer until everything is soft, about 3 minutes. Add the nutmeg. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
• Toss the pasta with the puree in a medium bowl. Transfer to a baking dish and top with the breadcrumbs, herbs and dairy-free Parmesan. Bake until warmed through and the breadcrumbs are toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.

MICHAEL VOLTAGGIO'S SPANISH INSPIRED "MAC & CHEESE"

Steps:

• Preheat a broiler.
• In a large saute pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-6 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium-high, add the chorizo and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the rice, saffron, and bay leaf. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sherry and cook until absorbed.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the water 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each addition has been absorbed and the rice is just al dente, about 20 minutes.
• Add the cream and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Fold in the goat cheese and season with salt.
• Transfer the rice to a casserole dish or large fry pan and sprinkle the Manchego on top.
• Broil until the cheese is golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Let rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with chives.
