MOZZARELLA MACARONI AND CHEESE

I love mac and cheese, but sometimes the traditional cheddar versions have way more salt than I can handle. I love the texture of this one, too - there's no grainy feel to the sauce like you get with cheddar cheese. Recipe is by Angie McGowan of the blog Eclectic Recipes.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons Gold Medal all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic, very finely chopped
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaf

Steps:

  • Cook and drain macaroni as directed on package.
  • In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Using whisk, stir in flour, salt and garlic. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until mixture smells nutty and is lightly golden, stirring constantly with whisk.
  • Add milk. Continue to beat with whisk, scraping bottom of skillet until mixture heats to boiling. Mixture will thicken. Remove from heat; add cheese and basil. Stir with whisk until smooth. Stir in drained macaroni.
  • Serve with additional basil leaves if desired.

Tips:

  • For a creamier macaroni and cheese, use a combination of milk and heavy cream. Avoid using all milk, as it can make the sauce too thin.
  • Shred your own cheese for the best flavor and texture. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the taste and consistency of the sauce.
  • Cook the macaroni according to the package directions, but be sure to drain it well before adding it to the sauce. This will help to prevent the macaroni from becoming soggy.
  • Make sure the cheese sauce is thick enough before adding the macaroni. If the sauce is too thin, it will not coat the macaroni properly.
  • Top the macaroni and cheese with a breadcrumb topping for a crispy, golden crust.

Conclusion:

Mozzarella macaroni and cheese is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy cheese sauce, tender macaroni, and crispy breadcrumb topping, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
