Low Carb Mac and Cheese
A low carb or lower carb version of a favorite comfort food.
Ingredients
- Butter- 3 tablespoons.
- Low Carb Flour see post for details- 2 tablespoons.
- Milk see post for alternatives- 2 cups.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese I like mine sharp- 8 ounces.
- Cooked pasta- 2 cups.
- Grated Parmesan Cheese- ¼ cup.
- Seasonings- Such as salt paprika, cayenne, etc.- as desired.
Instructions
- Prepare your pasta as directed. Prep a casserole (1 ½-2 quart) for nonstick. Preheat your oven to 350.
- Over medium heat, melt your butter. When the butter has melted, stir in your flour and allow to bubble.
- When the mixture starts to bubble, you can slowly add the milk. Use a whisk to mix this as it reaches a boil and then turn the heat down, continuing to whisk (to avoid sticking) as the mixture thickens.
- Once your mixture has reached you desired thickness (about 4-5 minutes) you can stir in the cheddar cheese. At this point you can use a spoon or similar object to stir. When the cheese has melted, remove from heat and stir in your pasta and season.
- Place your macaroni and cheese into the prepared casserole and top with the Parmesan cheese.
- bake for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly with a hint of turning golden.
