Okay friends. It’s now time to switch up your favourite mac and cheese recipe and make way for this glorious dish full of flavoured comfort food. I can guarantee THIS will become your new favourite recipe. I no lie. In fact, I can guarantee your mac and cheese experience will forever be changed and will never be the same after you try this recipe.
Not only is this made with the usual cheddar cheese found in most recipes; it has a GOOD kick of stringy mozzarella AND loaded with parmesan because — well — parmesan. Do you SEE that cheese pull?!?
Usually with a recipe — any recipe — you can decide in a split second which element you like better. Well, people, let me tell you right now I’m so undecided and have absolutely no idea where to start. The thick and creamy sauce? The perfect, butter fried topping with extra crispy parmesan? Or the kick of garlic? Gah! No, I can’t even!
How To Make Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mac And Cheese
It’s so easy I can break it down in five easy steps:
- Boil and drain pasta
- Fry the breadcrumbs/parmesan mixture
- Make white Sauce
- Add cheese
- Top with breadcrumb mixture
- The End
I do solemnly swear though, that I kept you all in mind while trying out this recipe more than 20 times before posting it. I wanted low cal for you, BUT I didn’t want to skimp on the important mac and cheese flavours of butter….. and butter. You know what I mean? So instead, I cut the butter and flour quantity in half in the white sauce, and used a cornstarch / milk combo to do the rest of the thickening for me. All without sacrificing flavours. You’re so welcome.
In fact, I had a checklist.
- Creamy sauce
- Abundance of pasta
- Crispy topping
- Cheese
- Lots of cheese
- Loaded with cheese
My Macaroni And Cheese hating husband LOVED this! Don’t even get me started on what I just said, BUT, it took a lot of convincing on my part to get him to try it.
And there you have it. A bowl of comfort.
