Delicious Gluten Free Macaroni And Cheese Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 cups gluten-free elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk (preferably whole or 2%)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Cook the macaroni

    In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the gluten-free macaroni according to package instructions until al dente.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the cheese sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the gluten-free flour and cook for about 1 minute.

    Whisk continuously to avoid lumps.
  3. Add milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, and continue to cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

    Keep stirring to ensure a smooth sauce.
  4. Incorporate cheeses

    Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

    Feel free to add more cheese for extra creaminess.
  5. Combine pasta and sauce

    Drain the cooked macaroni and mix it with the cheese sauce, ensuring all pasta is well coated.

    Serve immediately for the best texture.
