Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb macaroni
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup packed grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup goat cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh)
1/4 cup goat cheese (about 1 ounce)
freshly grated pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil.
  • Add the macaroni and cook about 8 to 10 minutes, or until just tender, depending on the size of the pasta. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. When the butter is melted and sizzling, stir in the flour to create a paste and cook 1 minute.
  • Slowly add the milk, whisking to create a smooth sauce. Let cook about 5 minutes or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and slowly add the grated Parmesan and the goat cheese, whisking to create a smooth sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use the olive oil to grease the bottom of a medium size gratin or baking dish, about 8 to 10 inches long.
  • Place the drained macaroni in the dish and pour the cheese sauce on top, stirring gently to coat all the macaroni.
  • In a small bowl, make the topping. Mix the Parmesan, breadcrumbs, thyme, and pepper. Spoon over the macaroni and top with the goat cheese.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the pasta is hot.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The macaroni and cheese was bland and the goat cheese was overpowering.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my macaroni and cheese turned out lumpy and the goat cheese didn't melt evenly.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The macaroni and cheese was fine, but the goat cheese didn't really add anything to the flavor.
