To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook my favourite macaroni cheese using 11 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make My Favourite Macaroni Cheese:
- Get 250 g macaroni or pasta of choice (I love Rigatoni)
- Make ready 50 g baguette, cut into small chunks
- Get 1 tbsp butter, melted
- Make ready 40 g butter
- Take 40 g plain flour
- Take 600 ml whole milk
- Get 1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
- Prepare 180 g strong cheddar cheese, grated
- Prepare 90 g Gruyere cheese, grated
- Get 50 g Parmesan, finely grated
- Make ready 150 g streaky bacon or pancetta, cut into strips/cubes
I used coarsely shredded cheddar and finely shredded Italian blend. I love the blue box Macaroni and Cheese. I know it's a terrible thing, but it has been my favorite food ever since I can remember. Macaroni Cheese was my favourite food growing up, I had it every birthday.
Steps to make My Favourite Macaroni Cheese:
- Heat oven to fan 180C. - Spread 50g baguette chunks over a baking sheet, drizzle with 1tbsp melted butter and season.
- Bake for 6 minutes or until crisp, then set aside.
- Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 1 or 2 minutes under the recommended package cooking time (around 8-9 minutes). Drain well and set aside.
- Fry the streaky bacon/pancetta in a non-stick frying pan until just about crispy. Remove from the heat and set aside while you make the sauce.
- For the cheese sauce: heat the butter in a medium saucepan on a low heat until melted. Stir in the flour using a hand whisk and cook for around 10 minutes, stirring continuously until the flour is ‘cooked out’. The consistency will change to a thinner ‘sauce’ and the colour may go slightly caramel. This is when you know it is ready to add the milk.
- Gradually whisky in the milk, splash at a time until all the milk has been mixed in and the sauce is thickened. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to hot
- Turn the heat down to low on the sauce, and add 45g of the gruyere and 130g of the cheddar, a tsp of nutmeg nutmeg and stir until it is well combined and melted.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and mix well. Transfer to a deep, suitably-sized ovenproof dish.
- Scatter over the bread and the remaining cheese and the parmesan and place the dish under the hot grill. Cook until the cheese is browned and bubbling. Serve straight away.
I know it's a terrible thing, but it has been my favorite food ever since I can remember. Macaroni Cheese was my favourite food growing up, I had it every birthday. Not much has changed, except perhaps it is more of a side dish now than a main course! This dish starts out as mac and cheese. But add some hard-cooked eggs, mayo and chopped veggies and—voila!—it's one fabulous macaroni salad.
