This is by far the creamiest, tastiest and most special macaroni and cheese I have ever tried.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for boiling
1 lb dried spathetti
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cayenne
1 qt half & half
½ cup heavy cream

  • Gradually add the half-and-half, whisking for 30-60 seconds between each addition until starting to thicken before adding more. Whisk in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth and no lumps remain. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pot.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2-1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus kosher salt to taste
10 ounces egg noodles (or penne or rigatoni, or macaroni)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons grated pecorino cheese (or kasseri if you can find it) or 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese (or kasseri if you can find it)
1/2 cup pecorino cheese, for serving (or Parmesan)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add 1/2-1 tbls. of the salt and the pasta. Cook until al dente, 5-7 minutes(until it still has a little bite to it-not too soft). Drain.
  • In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium hight heat. Add the pasta and 3 tbls. grated cheese.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss.
  • Top with remaining cheeses and serve hot. Enjoy! Opa!

Tips:

  • Use the right noodles. Macaroni and cheese noodles should be a short, sturdy pasta that will hold its shape when cooked. Elbow macaroni, shells, and penne are all good choices.
  • Cook the noodles al dente. Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will prevent the noodles from becoming mushy when you add the cheese sauce.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken sauces. For mac and cheese, a roux will help to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is the star of mac and cheese, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Sharp cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Add some extras. Mac and cheese is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add some cooked bacon, diced ham, or chopped vegetables to make it a more hearty meal.

Conclusion:

Mac and cheese is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious mac and cheese that will be the hit of your next party or potluck.
