Gluten Free Pasta And Cheese With Kale Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE SAUSAGE-KALE STRATA

Steps:

• Prepare the pan. Grease a metal 8-inch baking pan with the olive oil. Lay the bread cubes, kale, Cheddar and sausage slices in the pan and toss them together.
• Combine the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, mustard, rosemary, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and until thoroughly combined. Drizzle over the contents of the pan. Cover the pan and put it in the refrigerator to rest 8 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pull the strata out of the refrigerator and uncover it.
• Bake the strata. Bake the strata until the egg custard is set and the edges are browned, about 45 minutes. Allow the strata cool to a warm room temperature, about 15 minutes, before serving.

MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 3/4 cups of the cooking water and then drain. Set aside.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the kale and garlic and cook, stirring, until the kale begins to wilt. Add 1/2 cup of water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale wilts and is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Carefully wipe out the saucepan. Bring the half-and-half, cayenne and nutmeg to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Gradually whisk in the Cheddar and Havarti cheeses, a handful at a time, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
• Add the cooked pasta and reserved cooking water to the sauce and stir to combine. Stir in the kale and season with additional salt and pepper. Pour into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Toss the bread crumbs, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl and sprinkle evenly over the macaroni and cheese. Bake until bubbly and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
