Time 53m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 italian bread, or white bread
¾ stick unsalted butter, softened, plus 3 tablespoons, divided
6 garlic cloves, minced, divided
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced, divided
¼ teaspoon McCormick® red pepper flakes, optional
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
½ cup grated parmesan cheese, divided, plus 1 tablespoon
1 ½ cups heavy cream
¾ cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 ½ cups elbow macaroni

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Cut off the top of the boule and reserve. Using a small, sharp knife, cut around the inside of the bread (being careful not to cut through the sides) and scoop out the center. Tear 1 loosely packed cup of the bread's innards into 1-inch pieces, then discard or set aside the rest for another use.
  • In a small bowl, mix together 6 tablespoons softened butter, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon parsley, the red pepper flakes, if using, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  • Arrange the bread bowl, top of the boule, and the torn bread on a baking sheet. Spread the compound butter over the inside of the top of the boule and all over the inside of the bread bowl.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the bread bowl is golden brown around the edges and the torn bread is dry and beginning to brown.
  • Transfer the torn, toasted bread to a food processor and process into coarse crumbs. You should have about ½ cup of bread crumbs.
  • In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the bread crumbs and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes.
  • Transfer the toasted bread crumbs to a medium bowl and add 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon parsley, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine.
  • Wipe out the pot, then return to the stove over medium heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted and bubbling, add the remaining 3 cloves garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the heavy cream and cook until simmering and reduced slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, 4-5 minutes. Add the remaining ½ cup Parmesan and the mozzarella cheese and stir until the cheese is fully melted and creamy and the sauce has thickened, 5-6 minutes. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and the pepper.
  • Fold in the cooked elbow macaroni until well coated.
  • Set the bread bowl on a clean baking sheet. Transfer the macaroni to the bread bowl and top with the bread crumbs.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, until warmed through and set.
  • Top with the remaining tablespoon of parsley and serve immediately with the toasted top of the boule.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     High In...

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups panko Japanese-style bread crumbs
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 head garlic
olive oil
1 lb uncooked pasta (such as cavatappi, shells or large elbow)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 cups whole milk
5 1/2 cups coarsely shredded cheddar cheese (white, yellow or a mix of both)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the crumb topping:.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and chives, stirring to combine. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until toasted slightly. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Make the pasta and sauce:.
  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • Slice the top one-third off the head of garlic. Place the bottom portion on a piece of foil, drizzle it with olive oil, and season it with salt and pepper. Place the top portion back on the head of garlic and crumple the foil to create a sealed packet. Roast the garlic for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the roasted garlic from the oven and squeeze the cloves into a bowl. Using a fork, mashing the cloves into a paste. Set aside.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Butter a 13x9-inch shallow baking dish.
  • In a large, heavy saucepot (such as a Dutch oven), melt 1 stick butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the flour and reserved garlic paste. Cook the roux, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes until golden. Whisk in the milk. Bring the sauce to a boil, whisking constantly, then reduce it to a simmer and let it cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, mustard powder, salt and pepper until well combined.
  • Add the pasta and the reserved 1/2 cup of pasta water to the pot, stirring to combine. (It will be soupy.) Transfer the macaroni and cheese to the buttered baking dish. Sprinkle it with the reserved crumb topping and place it on a sheet tray (in the event it bubbles over while baking). Bake the macaroni and cheese for 20 to 25 minutes until it's golden brown and bubbling.
  • Additional Notes:.
  • The garlic head can be roasted, and the garlic gloves mashed, 1 day in advance. Store the garlic paste, covered, in the fridge.
  • The macaroni and cheese can be baked in a large baking dish or several smaller ramekins for individual servings.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your macaroni and cheese. For a classic flavor, use a sharp cheddar cheese. For a more unique flavor, try using a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and will not hold its shape well in the macaroni and cheese.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken sauces. It will help to give your macaroni and cheese a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Add milk and cheese gradually. When you are adding the milk and cheese to the roux, do it gradually and whisk constantly. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Season to taste. Once you have added the milk and cheese, taste the sauce and season it with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Add the garlic bread cubes. Once the macaroni and cheese is cooked, stir in the garlic bread cubes. This will add a delicious crunch and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Macaroni and cheese with garlic bread cubes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual get-together. With its creamy, cheesy sauce, crispy garlic bread cubes, and gooey melted cheese, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
