COPYCAT COSTCO(R) DELI MAC AND CHEESE

Costco's mac and cheese that they sell in their deli section is so yummy, but they only sell it at a certain time of the year. I wanted to try to figure the recipe out so that when they don't have it, I can still make it myself. This recipe is what I came up with. It is very decadent and NOT low-cal. LOL

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces dry cavatappi pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup butter
3/4 pint heavy cream
pepper
garlic salt
3/4 cup grated pecorino romano cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Cook cavatappi pasta according to package directions so it is al dente, drain, add 1 Tbsp of butter while still hot, and mix through; set aside to cool mostly.
  • In a large sauce pan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add garlic salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in the pecorino romano and parmesan cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce. Remove from heat and allow to cool mostly.
  • Once both noodles and sauce are just slightly warm, stir the sauce into the noodles. Add 3 cups of cheddar cheese and mix.
  • Smooth into a 13x9x2 baking dish. Sprinkle top with the remaining cup of cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until top starts to brown slightly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the macaroni and cheese will taste.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente. This means that it should still have a slight bite to it.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to thicken the cheese sauce.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of different cheeses will give the macaroni and cheese a more complex flavor.
  • Season the cheese sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Top the macaroni and cheese with breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese. This will give it a crispy, golden brown crust.
  • Serve the macaroni and cheese immediately. It is best when eaten fresh out of the oven.
