Indulgent Mac 'N' Cheese Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: macaroni, freshly ground black pepper, salt, paprika, garlic powder, mustard powder, nutmeg, dried basil, oregano, panko breadcrumbs, flour, milk, garlics, milk, butter, cheese, heavy cream

Provided by Mahnoor Ahmad

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb macaroni
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
2 ½ teaspoons paprika, or chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder, (optional but highly recommended)
¼ teaspoon nutmeg, (optional, but use for added flavor)
1 pinch dried basil, optional
½ teaspoon oregano
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup flour
4 cups milk
2 garlics, minced
4 tablespoons milk, use for later
¼ cup butter
4 cups cheese, (recommended: 2 cups cheddar, 1 cup monterey-jack, 1 cup mozzarella)
½ cup heavy cream, (optional but for extra creaminess, use it)

Steps:

  • Take a medium-sized pot or a deep saucepan and to it, add the flour and cook for 2 minutes on medium heat (to toast the flour). Reduce heat to low and add butter and minced garlic. Cook until butter has melted and garlic has caramelized.
  • Increase heat to medium and add 4 cups (960 ml) milk slowly, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook until sauce thickens- sauce should be thicker than bechamel.
  • Turn off the heat and add garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika or chili powder, mustard powder and nutmeg. After mixing, add 1 ½ cups (150 G) of the cheese to the sauce and combine - do not turn on the heat.
  • In a separate pot, boil the pasta in water and cook until al dente. Drain and reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) pasta water.
  • Then, put the macaroni in a large pot and add the sauce without heating it. Add the heavy cream, 4 tbsp of milk, pasta water, basil and oregano. Add salt and pepper if needed.
  • In a separate pan, toast the breadcrumbs with 1 tbsp of butter and cook for 5 minutes to create a breadcrumb topping.
  • Preheat the oven to 410°F. Add half of the mac 'n' cheese to a lightly-buttered baking dish. Before adding another layer, add 1 cup (100 G) of shredded cheese. Then, top with the final layer of pasta and cover with the remaining cheese.
  • Add the breadcrumbs on top and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the top gets nice and golden-brown.
  • Enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BAKED MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Make The Best Baked Mac And Cheese Recipe by Tasty image

Nothing says comfort like a homemade baked mac and cheese. Our favorite version is made with a luscious and creamy sauce that pools in the pasta shells for the ultimate cheesy feel-good food.

Provided by Aleya Zenieris

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for boiling
8 oz dried pasta shells
10 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
4 oz american cheese, cubed
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ stick unsalted butter
1 teaspoon mustard powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 large egg
2 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz parmesan cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 2 minutes less than recommended on the package (you want the pasta to have a slight bite; it will finish cooking while it bakes).
  • In a large bowl, combine 8 ounces shredded cheddar with the American cheese and cornstarch. Use your fingers to gently toss until all of the cheese is coated.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. As the butter begins to sizzle, add the mustard powder and cayenne and stir to combine. Toast the spices until the butter turns golden brown, about 1 minute.
  • Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream. Continue whisking until the milk begins to simmer, with small bubbles rapidly rising to the surface, about 3 minutes.
  • Whisk the egg in a small bowl, then temper it by slowly adding in spoonfuls of the simmering milk mixture while continuing to whisk until incorporated.
  • Slowly drizzle the tempered egg back into the milk mixture, whisking vigorously until the egg is fully incorporated.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and add the cheddar cheese mixture, a small handful at a time, whisking between each addition to make sure the cheese melts evenly (mix quickly enough that the mixture does not cool too rapidly, but slowly enough that the emulsion does not break).
  • Add the cooked pasta to the pot and gently fold to coat with the sauce, then season with 1 teaspoon salt. Pour the pasta and sauce into an 8-inch square baking dish with 2-inch-high sides (at this point, the pasta can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 3 days).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 2 ounces of cheddar cheese, the mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle on top of the pasta.
  • Bake the mac and cheese until the cheese is melted and beginning to bubble around the edges, about 20 minutes. Turn the broiler on high and broil the mac and cheese until the cheese begins to brown all over, about 5 minutes. Let the mac and cheese sit for 5 minutes for the sauce set and cool slightly.
  • Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
