Gluten Free Macaroni And Cheese Food

GLUTEN-FREE MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook the macaroni. Set a large pot of salted water over high heat. (Add enough salt to the water to make it taste like the ocean.) Bring the water to a boil. Add the macaroni. Stir for at least 1 minute to make sure the pieces do not stick together. Set the timer for 8 minutes.
• Set up the sauce. While the pasta is boiling, put the goat cheese, Cheddar and kale in the bottom of a large, wide bowl.
• Finish the dish. When the macaroni is tender but still has a bite (al dente), remove it from the pot with a Chinese spider or slotted spoon. Put it on top of the cheese and kale. Pour in about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the water the macaroni cooked in. Let everything sit for 5 minutes. Stir the mixture until the macaroni is coated in a creamy sauce, with kale dotted through it.

• In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and stir in the rice flour. Cook and stir the flour about 10 seconds. Slowly add in the almond milk, whisking to blend the flour paste and almond milk. Bring the mixture to a slow bubble- it will thicken as it gets hotter, then reduce the heat to low. Add the shredded cheese, salt, and mustard. Stir. Keep stirring until the cheese melts. Remove from heat.
• Mix pasta and sauce together in a 6 quart baking dish.
• Make bread crumb topping: toast waffles, break them up into food processor, drizzle with a little olive oil, add some italian seasoning, and pulse until they look like bread crumbs. Sprinkle these on top of the mac and cheese before you put it in the oven.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes until its bubbly.

EASY GLUTEN-FREE MACARONI AND CHEESE

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir salt and mustard powder into melted butter and remove saucepan from heat.
• Whisk milk and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; stir into butter mixture until well blended. Return saucepan to stove; cook milk mixture, stirring constantly, over medium heat until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.
• Stir 3 cups Cheddar cheese into sauce until heat from sauce melts cheese. Add pasta to cheese sauce and stir well; pour into the prepared baking dish.

CREAMY MAC AND CHEESE GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE (STOVE-TOP RECIPE)

Steps:

• Prepare pasta according to box directions. (I prefer Ancient Quinoa Harvest gluten free pasta--that stuff tastes better than real wheat pasta.).
• Either in a separate pot, or in the same pot (once you remove and drain the pasta), make a roux by melting the margarine and then whisking in the potato/corn/tapioca starch until well blended and you have a thick paste. Use a medium-low flame and work quickly.
• Add the non-dairy creamer and the almond/rice milk. Continue to whisk to blend well on medium heat. You should have a nice white sauce.
• Add the Daiya cheese. Stir until completely melted (no lumps). This may take longer than expected--Daiya cheese takes much longer to melt entirely than real cheese.
• Add the rest of the spices and stir. If you have any other mac & cheese variations, add those ingredients now. If the sauce is too thick, add more milk or creamer; if it's too thin, add more starch (slowly and sparingly).
• When the sauce is at the desired consistency, pour in your pasta and coat with the sauce. Serve hot! To reheat leftovers, you may need to add more liquid and reheat on the stove since the "cheese sauce" tends to congeal thickly when cooled.
• Enjoy!
