Thank you Rachel Ray for this deceptively delicious meal! If you have a hard time getting your kids to eat veggies (like mine) this might be just the recipe for you. :)
Homemade Mac N Cheese
 |
| Yummy! |
What you need:
2 TBsp butter
2 TBsp all purpose flour
1 c. chicken stock (or if you are vegetarian-use vegetable stock)
1 1/2 c. milk
2 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
salt & pepper
1 TBsp dijon mustard
1 lb. pasta (whole wheat or regular) *I used penne but you can use whatever you want
1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets and steamed until tender (I chopped it up pretty fine so my kids couldn't pick it out)
 |
| Your sauce will look like this |
In a sauce pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat, add flour, cook for about a min. Whisk in chicken stock and milk. Thicken the sauce for 5 mins. (BASIC ROUX recipe)
Stir in cheese and season with salt & pepper, then stir in mustard. (secret ingredient)
Toss the sauce with pasta & cauliflower. Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top for garnish.
DONE. Delicious!
Sira LOVED it!! Let me know if you try it. I'm sure you can add all kinds of combos to suite your family's likes. :)
