GLUTEN-FREE MACARONI AND CHEESE



Gluten-Free Macaroni and Cheese image

]It seems sometimes there are only two choices with macaroni and cheese: Make it from scratch with a roux and slow-simmered cheese sauce, or tear open a box and make it in minutes. It turns out you don't have to choose between quality and convenience. This quick method uses goat cheese, aged white Cheddar and gluten-free pasta. Throw in some dark lacinato kale and you have a complete meal in about 25 minutes.

Provided by Shauna Ahern

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Salt
16 ounces (2 boxes) dried gluten-free elbow macaroni
4 ounces soft goat cheese (chevre), crumbled
4 ounces aged white Cheddar, grated
1 large bunch lacinato kale, stems removed, leaves cut into ribbons

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni. Set a large pot of salted water over high heat. (Add enough salt to the water to make it taste like the ocean.) Bring the water to a boil. Add the macaroni. Stir for at least 1 minute to make sure the pieces do not stick together. Set the timer for 8 minutes.
  • Set up the sauce. While the pasta is boiling, put the goat cheese, Cheddar and kale in the bottom of a large, wide bowl.
  • Finish the dish. When the macaroni is tender but still has a bite (al dente), remove it from the pot with a Chinese spider or slotted spoon. Put it on top of the cheese and kale. Pour in about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the water the macaroni cooked in. Let everything sit for 5 minutes. Stir the mixture until the macaroni is coated in a creamy sauce, with kale dotted through it.
