Ingredients
 
 

  • 8 Ounces Gluten Free Pasta dried pasta
  • 2 Cups Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1 Cup Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese grated
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Dry Ground Mustard
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/4 Teaspoon White Pepper
  • 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 Cup Whole Milk
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Gluten Free Bread Crumbs for topping

Instructions
 

  • Start water boiling in a large sauce pan and cook the pasta about 2 minutes less than package directions. You want the pasta to be al dente. Gluten free pasta can turn to mush very quickly.
  • In smaller sauce pan, add milk, cream, butter, dry mustard, cayenne pepper and white pepper. Heat (not boil) until butter is melted and seasonings are incorporated.
  • Stir in the cheese until it’s all smooth and creamy. Drain pasta, place back into large sauce pan, pour cheese mixture on top and stir until completely combined and smooth. It’s ready to eat now or you can continue for a baked version.
  • For the baked version, pour into a 8” x 8” or similar oven safe dish, top with the gluten free bread crumbs and bake at 400°F for 12-18 minutes.

Notes

This mac and cheese can be baked or not. Gluten free, or not. It’s very versatile.
