My favorite one-pot stovetop mac and cheese recipe is easy to make :
Ingredients :
-8 oz (250 g) elbow macaroni or 2 cups (500 mL) small pasta shells
-2 cups (500 mL) Canadian old shredded or extra-old Cheddar cheese
-1 1/2 cups (375 mL) Canadian milk
-2 tbsp (30 mL) all-purpose flour
-1/2 tsp (2 mL) dry mustard or Dijon mustard
-1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
-nutmeg ground
(optional) Hot pepper sauce
-Additional shredded Canadian old or extra-old Cheddar cheese (optional)
Preparation :
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook pasta according to package directions until just tender but firm (al dente).
Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor (or in a tall container using an immersion blender) combine Canadian cheese, Canadian milk, flour, mustard, pepper and nutmeg. Process until blended and fairly smooth.
When pasta is ready, drain well and return to the pot. Add cheese mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 min or until sauce is creamy, smooth and thick. Season to taste hot pepper sauce, if desired. Garnish with extra Canadian cheddar cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips
Tip for Kids: This is a terrific recipe to introduce whole wheat pasta or one made with vegetables to your kids. Mix a small amount of the different pasta in with regular pasta to start and gradually increase the proportion each time you make it until your family is accustomed to all whole wheat or vegetable pasta.
Add 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped sun-dried tomatoes when you pour cheese sauce into cooked macaroni. Add 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh basil just before serving. Replace 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the Canadian old or extra-old Cheddar cheese with Canadian Asiago or aged Provolone cheese.
