Ingredients:

  • 1 lb elbow macaroni (or pasta of choice).
  • 3 tbsp cannabutter.
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour.
  • 2 cups whole milk.
  • 1 cup heavy cream.
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  • 1 cup shredded gouda or gruyère.
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan.
  • 1 tsp mustard powder.
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika.
  • Salt & pepper to taste.
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (Optional).
  • 1 tbsp melted cannabutter (Optional).
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan (Optional).

Tools:

  • Large pot.
  • Colander.
  • Large saucepan.
  • Whisk.
  • Wooden spoon or spatula.
  • Baking dish (optional).
  • Measuring cups.

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta: Get a big pot of water going, add salt, and throw in the macaroni. Cook it until it’s firm to the bite, then drain it.

2. Build the perfect roux: Melt the butter (regular and cannabutter) in a pan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute or two until it turns golden brown and smells nutty.

3. Create a creamy base: Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly for a smooth mixture. Add mustard powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper for flavor depth.

4. Melt the cheese: Reduce heat and gradually stir in the shredded cheeses one handful at a time, ensuring each addition melts fully before adding more. Once silky and combined, remove from heat.

5. Combine asta and sauce: Add the cooked pasta into the cheese sauce, stirring well to coat every piece. The sauce should cling perfectly to the pasta, creating that creamy, dreamy texture we all love.

6. Bake for extra crispiness (Optional): Transfer the mac ‘n’ cheese to a greased baking dish. Mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and parmesan, then sprinkle over the top. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling. Serve hot and enjoy!
