Provided by Mahnoor Ahmad

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb macaroni
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
2 ½ teaspoons paprika, or chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder, (optional but highly recommended)
¼ teaspoon nutmeg, (optional, but use for added flavor)
1 pinch dried basil, optional
½ teaspoon oregano
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup flour
4 cups milk
2 garlics, minced
4 tablespoons milk, use for later
¼ cup butter
4 cups cheese, (recommended: 2 cups cheddar, 1 cup monterey-jack, 1 cup mozzarella)
½ cup heavy cream, (optional but for extra creaminess, use it)

Steps:

  • Take a medium-sized pot or a deep saucepan and to it, add the flour and cook for 2 minutes on medium heat (to toast the flour). Reduce heat to low and add butter and minced garlic. Cook until butter has melted and garlic has caramelized.
  • Increase heat to medium and add 4 cups (960 ml) milk slowly, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook until sauce thickens- sauce should be thicker than bechamel.
  • Turn off the heat and add garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika or chili powder, mustard powder and nutmeg. After mixing, add 1 ½ cups (150 G) of the cheese to the sauce and combine - do not turn on the heat.
  • In a separate pot, boil the pasta in water and cook until al dente. Drain and reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) pasta water.
  • Then, put the macaroni in a large pot and add the sauce without heating it. Add the heavy cream, 4 tbsp of milk, pasta water, basil and oregano. Add salt and pepper if needed.
  • In a separate pan, toast the breadcrumbs with 1 tbsp of butter and cook for 5 minutes to create a breadcrumb topping.
  • Preheat the oven to 410°F. Add half of the mac 'n' cheese to a lightly-buttered baking dish. Before adding another layer, add 1 cup (100 G) of shredded cheese. Then, top with the final layer of pasta and cover with the remaining cheese.
  • Add the breadcrumbs on top and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the top gets nice and golden-brown.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     Pasta Sides

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb macaroni, elbow
1/2 lb block cheddar cheese
1/2 lb block monterrey jack cheese
2 lb block original velveeta cheese
12 oz can(s) evaporated milk
12 oz heavy cream
dash(es) kosher salt
dash(es) cracked pepper
dash(es) old bay seasoning
dash(es) poultry seasoning
1 1/2 stick butter, softened

Steps:

  • 1. Boil noodles until al dente. Approx 7 minutes. Rinse with cold water and put in a 9x13 sprayed or buttered baking dish.
  • 2. Shred Cheese and mix together. **Never use pre shredded cheese in the package. They add a waxy coating on the cheese to preserve it which doesn't allow it to melt as good.**
  • 3. Season the noodles with Kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
  • 4. Mix in the cheese with the noodles. Slice the stick of butter and evenly space over the cheese and noodle mixture. Lightly season again.
  • 5. In a saucepan add 4 tablespoons of butter 1 can evaporated milk, heavy cream, and 1 pound of Velveeta that is cubed for easier melting. Over medium low heat stir frequently until Velveeta is completely melted.
  • 6. Season sauce with dashes of old bay, poultry seasoning, black pepper, and any other seasoning you prefer. Sauce will seem too thin, but it won't be once baked.
  • 7. Pour sauce over noodles working it in as you go. With remaining Velveeta, use about 4oz to make little cubes. Poke them in all over the mixture to have little cheesy surprises!
  • 8. Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned! Enjoy!!!
