A vegetarian recipe blog without a Mac & Cheese would be like a house without a toilet.......you know, the obvious thing missing? Anyway fear not, the blog house I'm building now has a toilet so I'm ready to start having parties.
Maybe not the best analogy of my life, but Mac & Cheese it is.
I don't really have a recipe I follow for Mac & Cheese, it's an old favourite that I just sort of make up as I go. Luckily I have just made up a recipe as I go. It's an awesome dish, but not something I like to eat regularly as it's not the healthiest.
Classic |
- · Cook 150g (ish) of Macaroni in salted water.
- · Melt two dessert spoons of butter on a high heat, mix in two dessert spoons of flour to make thick paste.
- · Remove from heat and gradually stir / whisk in ½ pint of so of 1% milk
- · Once smooth sauce is formed, bring to the boil and throw in a handful of grated *cheddar and about 1/3 handful of parmesan. Stir until all cheese melted and you have a thick cheesy sauce. Add salt and black pepper…….Maybe add a bit of chopped parsley or onion and fried garlic for a new taste?
- · Drain pasta and mix with sauce in a 2L Oven Proof Bowl, top with a pinch more cheese, salt and pepper.
- · Bake on 400F for 20mins.
- · Finish off under grill to brown top.
- · Leave dish to stand 10mins before serving.
- · Serve with a dash or two of Malt Vinegar (Trust me)
- · Eat
*I often throw in any other left over cheese and reduce
cheddar accordingly.
