Mac and Cheese
Ingredients
- 225 g Gluten Free Macaroni Pasta
- 60 g Vegan Butter
- 2 tbsp Gluten Free Plain Flour
- ½ tsp Dry Mustard
- 235 ml Soya Milk
- 225 g Lactose Free Cheddar Cheese
- 25 g Gluten Free Breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Cook the gluten free pasta until tender as per the pack instructions. Drain the pasta.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, then stir in the gluten free flour, add the mustard, salt and pepper.
- Slowly add the milk – we use soya milk. Stirring constantly.
- Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils. Reduce the heat to a simmer, but keep stirring constantly.
- Gradually stir in the cheese. This will need to be whisked in so that it melts and incorporates into the sauce.
- Add your macaroni and stir to combine.
- Put the mixture into an ovenproof dish (or smaller ones if you want individual portions). Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top.
- Place the dish into the oven on Gas mark 6 for 10 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Notes
- Use a combination of cheeses for the best flavor and texture. Sharp cheddar provides a rich tanginess, while Gruyère adds depth and creaminess.
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the cheese sauce.
- Feel free to get creative with add-ins such as diced ham, cooked broccoli, or caramelized onions for a personalized twist on the classic dish.
