Mac n Cheese - GF, EF, SF, OF, CF, NF - DF Option
Mac n Cheese - 3-4 portions
12 ounces Café Chocolade dry GF penne
Cook pasta and toss in oil of choice so it does not stick, set aside
4 tablespoons unsalted butter chopped, use DF butter if needed
Heat butter, when bubbling a bit add
¼ cup Café Chocolade gum free gluten free flour blend
Mix in starch mix and stir till all butter and starch are mixed and makes a smooth paste
12 fluid ounces evaporated milk at room temperature
12 fluid ounces milk plus more as necessary, at room temperature
Stir slowly the liquids into the starch paste and keep stirring till it forms a smooth sauce, do not boil, keep it on the simmer side.
3 cups - 12 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Add the cheese and seasonings into the sauce and stir till the cheese melts, do not boil just let the cheese melt. Adjust the seasoning to taste, feel free to add different seasonings.
Fold in the pasta, top with more cheese, you can add GF breadcrumbs and pop in your toasted oven or air fryer oven to crisp up the breadcrumbs.
Top with some chives, avocado, sour cream or anything that sounds good.
Notes:
You can use DF milk or cream. Trader Joes does sale a DF cream, just replace the dairy liquids with their DF cream, nut or oat milk will work, I would not use coconut milk.
Any DF cheese will work, just make sure you do not, not boil it, just a light melt.
If you cannot find a DF butter, we Cafe Chocolade can sale you some.
We also have the gum free gluten free flour mix.
