THREE-CHEESE MACARONI



Three-Cheese Macaroni image

This homemade version of the noodle favorite will make you forget about the boxed orange variety. A sauce made with three kinds of cheeses and a crunchy breadcrumb topping really separate this mac and cheese from its store-bought counterparts.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for pie plates
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
5 cups whole milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (10 ounces)
1 1/2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (4 ounces)
1 1/2 cups grated fontina cheese (4 ounces)
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound elbow macaroni

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 10 mini (1 cup) pie plates or a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs, and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Warm milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Cook until butter is bubbling. Add flour. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Gradually pour warm milk into butter mixture, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture bubbles and thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in 3 cups cheddar, 1 cup Gruyere, 1 cup fontina, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, the nutmeg, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain, and transfer pasta to cheese sauce. Stir to coat. Divide mixture among mini pie plates or transfer to baking dish. Scatter remaining cup cheddar, 1/2 cup Gruyere, and 1/2 cup fontina over top, and sprinkle with toasted breadcrumbs. Bake until cheese is melted and pasta is warmed through, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

GRUYèRE MAC AND CHEESE



Gruyère Mac and Cheese image

This version of mac and cheese is inspired by the staff meals at Bistro d'à Côté, a restaurant where I interned in Paris. It's made with Gruyère cheese and béchamel sauce-and what I'm going for is a really creamy, cheesy interior and a crisp exterior.

Provided by Anita Lo

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups whole milk
1/4 onion
1 bay leaf
1 pound dry macaroni
salt
3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus additional for buttering the dish
3 1/2 tablespoons flour
1 pinch cayenne
1 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground black pepper
3 cups Gruyère, grated, divided, about 12 oz
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan, grated, about 1 oz
1 tablespoon chives, chopped
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • For the béchamel: Heat the milk, onion, and bay leaf in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until steam wisps start to rise from the milk (this is scalding the milk, the stage just before boiling), then turn the heat to low. Meanwhile, bring water to a rapid boil in a large saucepan; salt the water. Add the macaroni, immediately stir with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking, and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • As the macaroni cooks, prepare the roux: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; then whisk in the flour and cook, stirring, to remove the raw flavor of the flour. Once the mixture is bubbling, turn the heat down to low as it continues to cook, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of cayenne. Slowly add the scalded milk, whisking vigorously after each addition until sauce is smooth. (Discard the onion and bay leaf.) The sauce will thicken as it heats, so be sure to whisk continuously to avoid burning. When all the milk is incorporated, bring to a simmer again before taking the saucepan off the heat. Drain the cooked pasta thoroughly.
  • Whisk the cream into the béchamel and season with salt and pepper. Place the macaroni in a large bowl and add 2 cups of the Gruyère. Pour the béchamel on top and stir well to combine. Season to taste with salt.
  • Assemble and bake the macaroni: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Pour macaroni into a buttered baking dish and top with the remaining Gruyère, then sprinkle on the panko and Parmesan. Bake until the top is lightly browned and cheese is bubbly, 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove macaroni from the oven and set aside. Chop chives and parsley and garnish before serving.

PANCETTA, GRUYERE, PARMESAN AND FONTINA MAC & CHEESE



Pancetta, Gruyere, Parmesan and Fontina Mac & Cheese image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
1 pound small pasta shells
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces pancetta, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
A few dashes hot sauce
2 cups shredded fontina cheese
2 cups shredded Gruyere
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons panko

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with kosher salt. Add the shells and cook 2 minutes less than the package directions. You want the pasta to be al dente. Drain, then set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the olive oil and pancetta into a large heavy-bottomed pot and turn on the heat to low. Cook the pancetta to slowly render the fat, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is crispy and most of the fat has rendered out, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Reserve the pancetta fat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 5 minutes. Add the butter and stir to melt. Add the flour and whisk to create a roux with the pancetta fat and butter. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Add in the milk, Dijon mustard and hot sauce and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce immediately to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly thickened. Add the fontina cheese, Gruyere and 1 cup of the Parmesan. Stir to combine with a rubber spatula until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Add the cooked shells and crispy pancetta and stir to combine. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more milk. Season to taste with kosher salt.
  • Transfer the mac and cheese into individual ramekins or a large baking dish. Top evenly with the panko and remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and place into the oven until the breadcrumbs are browned, about 5 minutes.
