Mac Nut Drummettes Recipes

DOUGHNUT PAN MAC AND CHEESE RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, add the crackers to a large bowl and crush into fine crumbs with the back of a measuring cup. Add the breadcrumbs and mix to combine. Coat a 6-cavity nonstick doughnut pan with nonstick spray. Add half of the breadcrumb mixture to the cavities, tilting the pan and gently tapping it to spread around the breadcrumbs so they cover as much of each cavity as possible. It's okay if a few extra breadcrumbs remain at the bottom of each cavity.
• Heat the half-and-half and cayenne in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the mixture just comes to a simmer. Continue to simmer over medium-low heat until the half-and-half is reduced by a little more than half, about 2 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Stir in the Cheddar until all of the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Add the macaroni to the saucepan and stir to combine. Season with salt if needed.
• Carefully fill each doughnut pan cavity halfway with the macaroni and cheese. Top each with a layer of mozzarella slices, then the remaining macaroni and cheese. Evenly cover each with the remaining breadcrumb mixture and gently pack down each ring with your fingertips. Lightly spray the top of each with nonstick spray.
• Bake until the cheese is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are lightly browned and crispy, 7 to 9 minutes. Let rest in the molds until the macaroni and cheese mixture stays together in a ring when you lift it out with the help of a butter knife, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with marinara sauce.

BUTTERNUT MAC 'N' CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the macaroni until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
• Carefully cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Drizzle half of the squash with olive oil and place it on a rimmed baking sheet cut-side up (reserve the other half of the squash in the fridge for another use). Roast, watching to make sure the surface doesn't get burned (it should have some brown areas, however), until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Scrape out the flesh into a bowl and mash with a potato masher. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
• While the squash is roasting, add the onions and 2 tablespoons of the butter to a large, ovenproof skillet over low to medium-low heat. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they're deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove them to a plate.
• In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Sprinkle over the flour and whisk it to make a thin paste. Cook it for 2 minutes, then whisk in the milk. Cook, whisking gently, until slightly thick, a couple of minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings. You'll probably want to add more salt!
• Turn the heat to low and stir in the mashed butternut squash. When it is warm, stir in the cheese. If the sauce is overly thick when the cheese is melted, add a splash of milk. Keep stirring until the sauce is nice and hot, then stir in the macaroni. Taste and add more salt if needed.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a pan and combine it with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the macaroni and bake (I do it straight in the skillet) until the crumbs are golden and the edges bubbly, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

APPLE 'DOUGHNUTS'

Steps:

• Mix the soft cheese with the honey and set aside. Peel the apples, then slice each through the core into five or six rings, about 1cm thick. Use an apple corer or small round biscuit cutter to stamp out a circle from the middle of each slice, removing the core and creating 'doughnut' shapes. Pat the slices dry using kitchen paper - they should be as dry as possible to help the toppings stick.
• Spread some nut butter over the slices, if using, then top with the sweetened soft cheese. Decorate with the sprinkles and serve.
