What You Need to Get
The Cheese Dream Team:
- 250g elbow macaroni is traditional but to be honest any pasta is good!
- 200g mature cheddar cheese
- 100g mozzarella cheese
- 50g parmesan cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 50g butter
- 50g plain flour
- 300ml whole milk
- 100ml double cream (can be left out but makes it super creamy)
- 3 tbsp Legendary Sauce Co's Roasted Garlic Aleppo sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs (for that perfect crunch)
Let's Make it Legendary
Pasta Perfect (10-12 minutes):
Start with perfectly cooked al dente pasta (that's fancy Italian for not quite done yet!) - it'll continue cooking in the sauce, so don't overdo it!
The Legendary Sauce (15 minutes):
Create your roux with butter and flour, then gradually add milk and cream. This is where patience pays off - keep whisking for that silky-smooth texture.
Cheese Paradise (5-7 minutes):
Add your cheeses gradually, letting each addition melt completely. Then comes the magic - our Roasted Garlic Aleppo sauce transforms this from great to legendary!
The Grand Finale (15-20 minutes):
Top with breadcrumbs and extra parmesan, then bake until golden and bubbly. The anticipation will be worth it!
Pro Tips:
- Grate your own cheese - pre-shredded doesn't melt as smoothly
- Keep your roux moving - nobody likes lumps!
- Let the mac & cheese rest for 5 minutes after baking
- Use room temperature milk for a smoother sauce
Make It Your Own:
- Add crispy bacon bits
- Mix in caramelised onions
