ONE DISH OVEN BAKED MAC & CHEESE

• Carefully remove from the oven, and stir in cheese until melted.

BAKED ONE POT MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
• Melt the butter in a deep fry pan or skillet (Note 4) over medium heat. (Note 5)
• Add the flour and stir until combined so a thick paste forms ("roux"). Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• Add half the milk and use a whisk to dissolve the roux into the milk. It will thicken quickly, then add the remaining milk. Whisk in small circles, rotating around the pan, to dissolve all the roux into the milk.
• Add the water, salt and 5 grinds of pepper, then turn the heat up to medium high. Whisk leisurely so the bottom doesn't stick to the pan. When the white sauce starts to steam and thickens such that you can see it coating the edges of the pan (around 2 to 3 minutes), add the macaroni.
• Turn the heat down to medium and stir gently with a wooden spoon to mix the macaroni through and ensure the bottom doesn't stick. Cook it for 1 minute. Be sure not to cook it for longer than this after adding the macaroni - this really impacts the "sauciness" of the dish and ensuring the macaroni isn't overcooked.
• Cover the fry pan (Note 6), then transfer it immediately to the oven on the middle shelf.
• Bake for 12 minutes, then remove from the oven. It will seem like there is too much sauce but it reduces and thickens in the next steps. The pasta should be just cooked (al dente). It will continue cooking from the residual heat.
• Turn the oven off and turn the grill/broiler on high.
• Stir through the cheese, just enough to disperse it through the macaroni. As you stir, this will melt the cheese and thicken the sauce. Don't stir too much because otherwise the sauce will thicken too much due to the evaporation.
• Sprinkle over the panko and parmesan cheese, then place under the grill/broiler for a few minutes to brown.
• Remove from the grill/broiler and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

ONE-POT MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, combine milk, water and macaroni; bring to a boil over medium heat.

Season with salt and pepper.

ONE-PAN OVEN MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place blocks of Fontina and sharp Cheddar cheeses in the center of an ungreased, 9-inch square baking dish. Pour pasta into the dish, spreading evenly around the cheese. Pour half-and-half directly on top of the pasta and stir until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then top with shredded white Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, spreading evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Pull the dish out of the oven, stir in milk, and mix until noodles, cheese, and sauce are evenly combined. Return to the oven and cook until golden and bubbly, about 25 minutes more.
• Stir and serve immediately.

ONE-POT MAC 'N' CHEESE

Steps:

• Put the milk and macaroni in a medium saucepan. Bring the milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to keep the macaroni from clumping, then cook, stirring frequently, until the macaroni is tender and the milk has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the Cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, butter, mustard, cayenne, nutmeg and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and stir until smooth, thick and creamy. Serve hot. (The dish will thicken as it cools; thin it out with a little hot water if desired.)
