Black garlic mac and cheese
 
Ingredients
  • Macaroni pasta, cooked (about ½ cup dried per person)
  • Whole or low fat milk (around a cup for each serving)
  • Roux or cornstarch (enough to make the milk resemble a thin chowder)
  • White cheddar (about ¼ cup per serving)
  • Parmesan (2 tablespoons per serving)
  • Black garlic cloves (figure ½ clove per serving)
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  • Sourdough breadcrumbs
Instructions
  1. Bring the milk to a simmer and season with the salt and pepper.
  2. With a wand mixer or hand blender, add the roux/cornstarch and blend until thickening occurs. The amount of thickener you put in will determine how thick your sauce is.
  3. Cook your pasta in salted water until al dente, 7-9 minutes. Drain and cool in ice water, reserve.
  4. Add grated or shredded cheeses & black garlic to sauce base and over a low heat, stir until cheese is melted.
  5. Add sauce to a saute pan and heat, add pasta and cook for 2 minutes to reduce sauce and finish cooking pasta.
  6. Place the mac n cheese into the serving bowl and top with the breadcrumbs.
  7. Pop under the broiler for a minute to crisp, remove and drizzle/sprinkle with a bit more of the black garlic and serve.
