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.'

Categories     Thanksgiving

Time 52m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick divided)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
8 ounces elbow macaroni
1/2 small sweet onion, diced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried mustard
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 cup sriracha garlic sauce (this can be adjusted to taste)
1 3/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/3 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spritz a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter. Add the bread crumbs, stirring gently. Turn off the heat, allow the bread crumbs to absorb the butter and reserve.
  • In a large stockpot, bring 2 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the macaroni noodles and stir. Cook until the noodles are just slightly undercooked, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to sweat, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add 1/2 cup of the milk while whisking. Once the milk has been absorbed by the flour and thickened slightly, add the remainder of the milk, followed by the cream. Add the salt, dried mustard, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the Sriracha. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of the Cheddar while slowly whisking, one handful at a time. Once all the cheese has melted, toss in the cooked macaroni, coating the noodles with the cheese sauce. Transfer the noodles and sauce to the baking dish. Top with the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and the remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Cover with an even layer of the buttered bread crumbs.
  • Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, 18 t 22 minutes. Allow to sit for 5 minutes so that the molten cheese lava can cool just a touch. Divide into squares, place, and garnish with the parsley.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your mac and cheese. Use a combination of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses for a rich and flavorful dish.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and will hold its shape better in the mac and cheese.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the cheese sauce. A roux will help to prevent the cheese sauce from becoming too thin and runny.
  • Use milk or cream: Milk or cream will help to make the cheese sauce smooth and creamy. You can use whole milk, 2%, or even skim milk. If you want a richer sauce, use cream.
  • Season the cheese sauce: Don't forget to season the cheese sauce with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
  • Add sriracha: Sriracha is a hot sauce that will add a spicy kick to your mac and cheese. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Top with bread crumbs: Bread crumbs will add a crispy topping to your mac and cheese. You can use panko bread crumbs or regular bread crumbs.
