BAKED ONE POT MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
• Melt the butter in a deep fry pan or skillet (Note 4) over medium heat. (Note 5)
• Add the flour and stir until combined so a thick paste forms ("roux"). Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• Add half the milk and use a whisk to dissolve the roux into the milk. It will thicken quickly, then add the remaining milk. Whisk in small circles, rotating around the pan, to dissolve all the roux into the milk.
• Add the water, salt and 5 grinds of pepper, then turn the heat up to medium high. Whisk leisurely so the bottom doesn't stick to the pan. When the white sauce starts to steam and thickens such that you can see it coating the edges of the pan (around 2 to 3 minutes), add the macaroni.
• Turn the heat down to medium and stir gently with a wooden spoon to mix the macaroni through and ensure the bottom doesn't stick. Cook it for 1 minute. Be sure not to cook it for longer than this after adding the macaroni - this really impacts the "sauciness" of the dish and ensuring the macaroni isn't overcooked.
• Cover the fry pan (Note 6), then transfer it immediately to the oven on the middle shelf.
• Bake for 12 minutes, then remove from the oven. It will seem like there is too much sauce but it reduces and thickens in the next steps. The pasta should be just cooked (al dente). It will continue cooking from the residual heat.
• Turn the oven off and turn the grill/broiler on high.
• Stir through the cheese, just enough to disperse it through the macaroni. As you stir, this will melt the cheese and thicken the sauce. Don't stir too much because otherwise the sauce will thicken too much due to the evaporation.
• Sprinkle over the panko and parmesan cheese, then place under the grill/broiler for a few minutes to brown.
• Remove from the grill/broiler and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the Cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, butter, mustard, cayenne, nutmeg and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and stir until smooth, thick and creamy. Serve hot.

Add the beef and break it up into small pieces with a large spoon; cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and Dijon until combined. Pour in the chicken stock and 1 teaspoon salt, stir to combine and bring to a boil, 6 to 7 minutes.

Steps:

• Pour water and salt into a medium pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the water has cooked down a bit, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the milk, and continue boiling for another 5 minutes. Add the Cheddar, Parmesan, pepper, and mustard; stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is thick and creamy. The starch from the pasta thickens the sauce as the pasta cooks.

ONE POT MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• In a medium pot set over medium heat, combine milk, water, macaroni, salt, and pepper.
• Bring to a low simmer, stirring frequently to prevent the macaroni from clumping and the milk from boiling over.
• Once the mixture simmers, reduce heat to low (it should continue simmering) and stir continuously until pasta is done to your liking, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• The macaroni will absorb the liquid while cooking, so stir in additional milk as needed, 1/4 cup at a time.
• Once pasta is done and the sauce is creamy, remove the pot from the heat and gradually stir in the grated cheddar, until smooth and melted. Taste and add more salt and/or pepper, if necessary.

• To modify and reduce saturated fat and salt, eliminate the salt, substitute low-cholesterol cheese and skim milk for the cheddar and the cream and add two teaspoons of fried onions (one small onion, chopped finely and fried in one teaspoon of canola oil in the pasta pot before you cook the pasta, then set the onion aside and add last to the above recipe).
