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.

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.

5 stars! This recipe was amazing! I'm not gluten-free, but I decided to try it anyway. I was so impressed with the flavor and texture. It was just like regular mac and cheese. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I would also recommend using a sharper cheese, like cheddar or Gruyère.

I'm not a fan of gluten-free pasta, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the pasta held up well. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe was a disappointment. The cheese sauce was bland and the pasta was overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well.

This mac and cheese was a lifesaver! I have a gluten-free son and it's always a challenge to find meals that he can eat. This recipe was easy to make and my son loved it. He said it was the best mac and cheese he's ever had.

This gluten-free mac and cheese was a hit with my whole family! My kids couldn't tell the difference between this and the regular mac and cheese I used to make. It was creamy, cheesy, and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
