Simple Italian-Style Mac and Cheese
Simple Italian-Style Mac and Cheese ,
By Belinda J. Mader | Family Fresh Meals .
Super Simple Mac & Cheese Italian Style is a go to recipe around here. With just 7 ingredients and 15 minutes you can have this fantastic dinner on the table. It is the ultimate left-over and weeknight dinner helper.
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk (2% is good too)
• 1 pound dry mini penne pasta
• 8 ounces of Italian blend shredded cheese (*see below to make your own blend)
• 1/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning (I prefer McCormick Tuscan Style Italian Seasoning)
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, cook pasta according to package directions, to al dente. Drain pasta once it is cooked and set aside. Work on the next step while your pasta is cooking.
• Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pan over medium heat melt butter, add flour and Italian seasoning and whisk for about 2 minutes to cook out the 'flour-y' taste. Add milk and continue to whisk occasionally, allowing the mixture to thicken. Add cheeses and whisk until fully combined.
• Pour cheese sauce over strained pasta and stir to combine. Sauce will thickens as it sits.
• Serve and enjoy!
