Flourless Mac and Cheese

 


 I've been working on this recipe for a while now, and I have tried versions of Mac and cheese with the flour, but I haven't liked them as much. I will be updating my recipe blog again soon. The link is in my bio. The recipe is also in the caption. This recipe is enough for one person.

Ingredients:

1 cup macaroni or pasta of choice
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
Reserved pasta water
1/4 cup milk
A splash of cream
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1tsp mild paprika
Salt and pepper seasoning
2 tblsp kraft jarred spreadable cheese

Method: 1. Cook pasta according to packet directions and drain.
2. Return pasta back to the pot and add cheddar cheese. Add reserved pasta water to melt the cheese stirring continuously.
3. Add the jarred cheese and melt with more of the reserved pasta water. Stir until all the cheese is melted and combined.
4. Add milk and cream and bring to a boil. Let simmer for a few minutes and stir. The sauce is ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
5. Add spices and seasoning and stir.
6. Serve. (I do have variations of this recipe and things you can make with the leftovers if anyone is interested).
