Mac and cheese is the right answer to your thoughts and questions. You just need to have the perfect ingredients and only 10 minutes to prepare your dinner.
Ingredients of Mac and Cheese:
- 200gm pasta macaroni
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoon bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated cheese cubes
- 1 1/2 tablespoon flour
- 500 ml of milk
- Water as required
To make this delicious meal, get a pan fill with water and heat it over medium flame, add salt and olive oil to it. Do not wash the pasta as it would ruin the look and texture of it.
After the water reaches the boiling, put the pasta in carefully. After a few minutes, lower the flame a little bit and let it simmer for five to ten minutes more in the pan. Next step, drain the excess water from the pan and rinse the macaroni using cold water and keep it aside for the next step.
For the best part, the cheese, get another pan over medium flame. Once the pan is hot, add in some butter, as it melts, add the flour. keep stirring and slowly add milk into it. While stirring it, make sure there is no lump or the mixture won’t be mixed well. Whisk the mixture until the mixture gets thickening. Now is the time you add the cheese but make sure to reduce the flame first. Whisk the mixture again till the cheese is completely melted and lastly, throw in some salt and pepper.
Place the boiled macaroni into a baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce and spread it over the macaroni evenly. Put a little butter in a pan and add breadcrumbs in some butter, spread them over the macaroni once they turn brown.
Take some leftover cheese and sprinkle it over the breadcrumbs for the final touch. Put the whole dish into the oven and bake it at 175 degrees Celcius for about 30 to 40 minutes or till the top change slightly brown. Enjoy it while it’s hot!
Note: You can also use a microwave if you don’t own an oven at your house. This meal can be used for various events like kitty parties, picnics, and birthday parties.
