EDWINNA’S RECIPE OF THE MONTH: Creamy Stovetop Mac & Cheese

Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp. butter
  • 4 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 tsp. ground mustard
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 5 1/2 cups shredded cheddar
  • 1 lb Barilla whole grain macaroni

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil
  2. In a medium pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook until golden and smells nutty, about 1 minute. Continue whisking until no lumps remain and mixture thickens, 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Add cream, ground mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Let simmer for 2 minutes, then turn off heat and whisk in cheese until completely melted.
  4. Add pasts to boiling water and cook according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  5. Add 1/4 cup of paster to water and cheese sauce and stir to combine. Add cooked pasta and stir to coat. Add more pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, to loosen sauce as necessary.
