GOUDA MAC N CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil for pasta. Salt the water and undercook the pasta by 2 minutes, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• While the water comes to a boil, in a covered Dutch oven heat extra-virgin olive oil over medium to medium-high heat. Cut the core away from the cauliflower and set the head into the pot and add 1 cup stock, cover and steam 12 to 15 minutes until tender. Remove and separate the cauliflower into florets. Discard water from pot.
• Over medium heat in the same pot, melt the butter, then add onions and garlic. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender. Add in the flour and whisk for 1 minute. Whisk in the whole milk and season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and sage. When thickened, stir in the Dijon mustard and 2/3 of the combined cheeses.
• Drain the pasta, add to the cauliflower, stir in the cheese sauce, transfer to baking dish, top with remaining cheese. Cool completely and cover for a make-ahead meal.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake until brown on a baking sheet to catch the bubble-over. The casserole will take 40 to 45 minutes to heat through.
• Garnish bowls of cauli-mac-n-cheese with chopped spicy watercress.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In a large pot or dutch oven, cook macaroni according to package directions, salting the water with 2 teaspoons of salt. Drain and return to the warm pot.
• Add butter to warm macaroni and mix until melted. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
• Add half of the cheddar cheese, mozzarella, provolone, gouda, and feta cheese. Mix well.
• Add eggs and evaporated milk, mix until fully incorporated.
• Transfer to a 9x13-inch (23 x 33 cm) baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until the top has nicely browned.
• Enjoy!
