Gluten-free baked macaroni and cheese is the perfect recipe alternative for those suffering from a gluten intolerance.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package of rice or corn based macaroni pasta
- 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon of truffle oil
- 1 1/2 cups of milk
- salt
- pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a large pot of boiling water, add your pasta and a dash of salt. Let it boil for 5-7 minutes.
- Using very low heat, begin to make your sauce by combining the shredded cheddar cheese and milk in a small sauce pan. Once the cheese has melted, add some parmesan cheese to thicken the sauce. Add a dash of salt and pepper. Constantly stir the sauce for 5 minutes. Finish the sauce off by mixing in the truffle oil.
- Line the bottom of an oven safe bowl with a layer of cooked pasta. Place half of your cheese sauce on top of your first layer. Then add a second layer of pasta along with the remainder of your sauce on top.
- *If you want to have a crispy crust, cover the last layer of pasta and sauce with shredded cheese. Then sprinkle parmesan cheese over everything.
- Once you have added all the ingredients to the oven safe bowl, bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is brown. Let it cool down for 2-3 minutes before serving.
