Fancy Mac and Cheese

water

macaroni, penne or cavatappi pasta

unsalted butter (divided)

salt

black pepper

milk

cream cheese

gruyere cheese (grated)

fontina cheese (grated)

cheddar cheese (grated)

corn flakes (slightly crushed)

garlic powder

parsley (chopped)

black truffle oil (optional)

Bring a large stockpot filled with 5 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. If the pasta start looking dry, add another 1/4 cup of water, if needed.While the pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a skillet. Once melted, add the crushed cornflakes and garlic powder. Toss the cornflakes in the melted butter and toast until they’re golden and fragrant. Remove from heat.When pasta is ready, DO NOT DRAIN. The remaining pasta water will help thicken the cheese sauce. Reduce the heat to low and then, to the pasta, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and the cubed cream cheese. Stir until melted and creamy. Then add the milk, salt and pepper and mix until incorporated.Remove the pot from the heat and gradually stir in the gruyere, fontina and cheddar cheese a half cup at a time. Mix until each addition is melted and a smooth before adding the next. If the sauce is thicker than your care for, add a few tablespoons of milk to thin the sauce to the desired consistency.Finally, top with the toasted garlic cornflakes and chopped fresh parsley. Drizzle lightly with truffle oil, if desired. Serve immediately.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan oven) and place your buttered slices of bread on a baking tray. Bake for five minutes, or until crispy, then remove from the oven and set aside. Leave the oven on. 

Cook your macaroni in a large pan of boiling water. Remove from the heat and drain two minutes ahead of the cooking time advised on the packet.

Gradually pour in the milk and whisk the contents of the pan thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Add a small pinch of salt and a little black pepper at this stage.

Remove the sauce from the heat and add the cheddar and Parmigiano Reggiano, stir through until thoroughly combined.

Add your macaroni to the sauce, making sure every piece of pasta is completely coated in the cheesy mixture.

Pour your mac & cheese mix into an oven dish or deep roasting tin.

Vegan Truffle Mac &amp; Cheese

raw cashews

yeast

cornstarch

white miso paste

truffle olive oil

pasta

If you have a high powdered blender such as a Vitamix, Blendtec, or Breville you can skip to step 2. If you don’t have a high-powered blender, you might want to boil the cashews first to ensure they are tender enough to blend into a smooth sauce. To do this add the cashews to a small pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes until the cashews are very tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. You can now proceed to make the cheese sauce.

Make the cheese sauce by adding 2 cups of water along with the cashews, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, miso paste, truffle oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to your blender until it is completely smooth. At this stage, the sauce will be quite watery. Set aside.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and then cook the pasta according to package directions.

Drain the pasta and quickly rinse the pot to remove any leftover starch from the pasta water. Return the empty pot to the heat and pour in the cheese sauce. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked hot pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Serve hot.
