loses the texture/viscosity & appearance that some people can't seem to get into. Yes! Win-win! Try it! I'm serious! It's not just for "cottage cheese-eaters." When warmed up. it was a stretch, but he's 5 so he bought it).

(I think this is what kept the picky-eatin' kid from realizing this was anything BUT "white mac 'n cheese." I know, I know. Pour the rest of the macaronis on top and sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella and parmesean cheese. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese to cover the noodles. In a large, greased baking dish pour half og the macaronis into the dish. It helped everything come together as a 'sauce' almost, instead of just cheese curds & noodles. Mix macaroni, ricotta and seasonings together in the pot. Wow! Loved it even MORE (and didn't think that was possible?!) I mean, you can't go wrong with the simple, basic versions - but that blob of sour cream really adds somethin'. making it yet again (now for TWO kids) :) - & with the sour cream this time, too. And after doing a "google search" for ingredients, I fell upon this recipe. I think that's all she put in it too literally, pasta & cottage cheese (with a splash of the pasta water.) Years later, when I had a child of my own, I started making this for her (now adding butter/onion to give it more flavor.) Both ways - just pasta/cottage cheese - and then with the butter/onion - were awesome (.but anything with some butta' is betta', ya know?) I forgot ALL about this "dish" then til recently when I was trying to use up leftover sour cream from Thanksgiving. Macaroni and cheese is a great meal by itself, but we had bacon on the side and a frozen vegetable mix.When I was a little girl, my (full-blooded Italian!) aunt introduced me to spaghetti w/ cottage cheese. Bake the casserole for about 30 minutes until the topping is browned.Make crumb topping: combine all three ingredients in a large bowl, stirring/tossing quickly with a fork, to coat all with the butter.Pour cheese sauce over cooked macaroni in buttered dish.Or use right away in any recipe calling for ricotta. Use it in pastas, as a spread, or in any recipe that calls for ricotta. Add parmesan cheese and ricotta cheese, salt to taste and. Stir cheeses into white sauce, stirring until melted. Heat olive oil on medium heat, add spinach and cook covered, stirring occasionally, until spinach wilted, about 15 minutes.Stir in milk, stirring or whisking often until sauce is thickened. Cook over medium heat until sauce begins to thicken. Do not let the roux brown (still edible, not very pretty in mac & cheese). Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until the flour is completely incorporated with no lumps. Cook on low heat until the butter is completely melted and the flour is cooked (cooking the flour gets rid of the raw flour taste int he sauce) - about 5 minutes. Make white sauce: melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat until bubbling.Prepare the macaroni and the cheeses set aside.You can see that mine came right up to the top.Ĩ oz elbow macaroni, cooked according to package directionsġ 1/2 cups ricotta, whole or part skim, pulsed in food processor until creamyĨ oz (about 1 1/2 cups) cheddar cheese, shredded Preheat oven to 375° butter a 2 1/2 quart baking dish, one with plenty of room to hold any bubbling sauce. We’ll eat it again tomorrow or the next day, but that’s enough. I’m halving my traditional recipe that uses a whole pound of macaroni, because there are just two of us, and while big dishes are lovely to look at, they are hard to consume. I also do that when I want to add it to an Italian tomato sauce. The one extra step today is pulsing the ricotta in a food processor, so it’s creamy and not gritty. I’m just going to stick with a cheese sauce made from a traditional white sauce, and boil the macaroni first. Plus, some of the photos of those dishes show that the whole thing has bubbled up over the sides, because of all the extra liquid needed to cook the macaroni. I see a lot of mac and cheese recipes that use the no-boil method, but I don’t like the fuss of the long cooking under foil and then the second cooking without it. It should be a milder cheese flavor, but still have a nice creamy texture. I can’t do better than her combination of white cheddar and nutty Gruyere, but today I’m doing a yellow cheddar and adding some ricotta for the second cheese just for a change. I should have either the magazine or the recipe cut out somewhere. My go-to recipe is Martha Stewart’s “Macaroni and Cheese 101” from her 1999 magazine issue. I can’t believe I don’t have a mac and cheese recipe on the site. New to cooking, or just too tired to make an effort Here are some super easy recipes, with simple directions like 'cut, chop, blend, stir, and boil' - very little effort and no thinking required.
