Let it sit in the water a minute then drain. Add pasta, stirring frequently to prevent clumping.For the pasta: Fill a stock pot with water, when it reaches a boil add 2 tablespoons of kosher salt to the water (be careful it will boil violently when adding salt).In a mini food processor pulse the bread until it resembles breadcrumbs.
We love the texture of a breadcrumb topping on our mac n cheese if you prefer to keep it all cheesy and creamy simply leave out, as desired. Oh, and in case you were wondering about all the coconut milk – there isn’t any coconut flavor from the milk. My oldest son is now requesting this for his birthday dinner, but that changes every week based on his new favorite. The hint of cayenne brings another flavor element to the recipe, not enough to say oh there’s cayenne in here but enough to say oh what a rich flavored cheese sauce this is.Įveryone is thrilled with having a new (allergen-free) of this favorite. Be sure not to leave out the garlic powder, it doesn’t impart garlicky flavor rather it’s there to enhance the cheese flavor, mimicking the dairy and wheat version. I added the breadcrumbs for texture, wasn’t sure if they would like that and they do so it stays in the recipe but can easily leave it out if you like to keep it all cheesy and creamy. Glad I wrote the recipe down with many notes I thought. Everyone went silent, attacking their bowls with a missed vengeance. That is until everyone dug into their plates – the verdict was in. I felt a pang of guilt that one of their favorite foods had to be compromised. I didn’t want to disappoint given my boys expressed disappointment about giving up mac n cheese since changing our dietary lifestyle. When I developed this recipe, as an experimental dinner (a new recipe off the top of my head) to fulfill our comfort food craving I was quite hesitant after all, they do come hungry to the dinner table. Comfort food at it’s best and get this, you can freeze a family-sized portion then easily thaw and bake so double up the recipe. I will admit I was surprised at how much I ate when I first made it, considering I am not a mac n cheese fan but my goodness is it good. Making it from semi-scratch (if only made the pasta shapes ha!) will have you hooked on how easy and satisfying it is. Silly question.įorget about the boxed stuff full of who-knows-what when homemade mac n cheese is this easy. It’s the ultimate comfort food, don’t you think? Of course you do.
Albeit, it was the gluten and dairy kind from the Boston Market where I grew up, or the boxed version. Ah, Mac n Cheese – who doesn’t love mac and cheese? There’s something about the combination of crunchy, and creamy with some pasta joining the party that brings back childhood memories.
