We skipped the classic macaroni and opted instead for Dellalo’s Whole Wheat Biodynamic Fusilli Pasta, which will perfectly hold all of that delicious cheese and sauce and add a heartier bulk to the dish. While the bechamel (a french word for this classic white sauce) cooks, heat a pot of salted water and add in your pasta of choice once it’s boiling. You can use a glass measuring cup to transfer the hot liquid little by little to avoid spills, or carefully pour it directly from the pot. After about 1 minute, you’ll add the warm milk to the roux, whisking quickly to make sure everything blends nicely and lump free.

Once the butter melts and starts to bubble (and while the milk warms in the other pot), add the flour and immediately start whisking so as not to burn the mixture.

In one pot, heat up your milk, while the other will be used to make a roux (a mixture of butter and flour that will be used to make the sauce nice and thick). The recipe does call for a bit of multitasking and preparation, but comes together in a flash. Once you have all of your ingredients set out, start by cutting a stick of butter in half, setting aside one part to butter a small casserole dish. Cooking up a batch of Mac & Cheese was the perfect way to make use of this short-dated cheese and prolong it’s fridge life by baking it up into something spectacular! Our only added ingredients were a stick of butter and 1/4 cup of flour, which most homes keep as pantry staples. Is there anything more hearty and comforting than a ridiculous amount of cheese baked into a heavenly, warm and gooey dish? What if that dish cost less than $8 to make? Here’s a bit of inspiration to make your own #gtmfinds creations, inspired by Martha Stewart’s classic Macaroni and Cheese recipe (because is there anything she can’t cook?) We sourced our Lemon Grove store for a treasure trove of ingredients to make our own Breadcrumb Coated Mac & Cheese - the perfect intro to the cozy Fall season that we San Diegans have been waiting for.įor our recipe, we took advantage of the Organic Pastures Raw Cheddar deal we got in at the stores, priced at only 68¢ a bag.
