Boil the pasta and sprinkle it with grated cheese…
Yes, this is enough to get a full dinner.
It turns out to be a rather appetizing and filling dish.
However, it has nothing to do with the classic version of macaroni and cheese.
In the United States, this dish consists of pasta soaked in cheese sauce.
This dish takes much longer to prepare, but it turns out incredibly tasty.
The secret lies in the use of additional ingredients: milk, flour and nutmeg.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication Belnovosti, a chef and fourth-class baker, recalled the recipe for a classic American delicacy.
How to Make American Style Macaroni and Cheese
In the United States, this dish is called "mac and cheese."
To get several servings at once (enough for the whole family), you need to cook 300 grams of pasta.
While the pasta is being cooked, grate 2 types of cheese: hard (200 grams) and mozzarella (100 grams).
Take a small saucepan, place it on the burner and throw 45 grams of butter into the container.
When the fatty product turns into liquid, mix it with 45 grams of flour and reduce the heat to low. Stir the contents of the container constantly.
After exactly 120 seconds, pour 400 milliliters of milk into the pan. Continue stirring the sauce until it begins to bubble and thicken.
Once you have achieved the desired result, add a pinch of nutmeg and 100 grams of hard cheese and mozzarella.
Stir the mixture until the cheese additive melts.
The resulting sauce should be poured over the cooked pasta, placed in a baking dish.
The base should be sprinkled with the remaining hard cheese.
Place the pan in the oven. The macaroni and cheese should bake for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
As a result, you will get a dish with a very pleasant cheese-cream taste.
