Recipe's preparation

  1. Start by boilng saucepan of water for pasta, season water. Add dried pasta when boiling. 

    Add both tasty and pamersan cheese to Thermomix Bowl and grate 5 Secs/Speed 8.  Add all ingredients and cook 7 - 8 Mins/Speed 3/90 Degrees.  

     

    Once completed and pasta is cooked, drain pasta and drop back into saucepan.  Add Cheese sauce to pasta and carefully combine.  Serve.....I take no responsibility if you eat this whole thing on your own.  I know I have in the past (oops).  Enjoy.....there is nothing better on a cold winters day/night then the smell, taste and texture of Mac & Cheese tmrc_emoticons.) 

     

    I have cooked double the mixture a couple of times now.  It just fits in the Bowl and is great for a big feed if having heaps of kids/big kids around.  When chopping the cheese....leave it go for about 15 seconds and make sure to cook the sauce for at least 16 mins.  The sauce covers 800gs of elbow pasta perfectly anymore and I find it doesnt cover enough and becomes kind of cluggy.  But make sure you dont use anything but good plain flour and most definitely don't use pre grated cheese as the anticaking agent in grated cheese clogs up the sauce and trust me....its tastes so much better when made from the block for both type of cheeses tmrc_emoticons.)

     

    I cant stress enough how much the best quality cheese you can get makes such a difference with this dish.  Mix it up also....try some different types of cheese to create different flavours!!

     

    Im chuffed everyone loves this Mac & Cheese....thankyou to everyone who is leaving comments and raiting it. tmrc_emoticons.)

    Oh WOW!! So glad I found this recipe, dinner done in 20 minutes on a day where I just couldn't be bothered. Added in a bit of Dijon mustard, pepper and chorizo as I had no bacon. I reckon if you baked it in the oven with bacon bits and and breadcrumbs it'd take it to a whole other level.

    My base did not set. It was very crumbly. If I make it again I would add more melted butter to the biscuit crumb. Nice flavour though. Auto Glass Repair of Sacramento

    This is the absolute best! I have made it a few times now. I've fried up some bacon and added that before topping it with some panko bread crumbs some more chese and under the grill it goes. I've also added a half tsp of mustard as well as a pinch of nutmeg. Absolutely DELICIOUS! Thank you for sharing.

    I make this so many times! It's the best! Do you think I could use fresh Tortellini instead of elbow macaroni? I was thinking to put it in the oven with Parmesan on the top. Did anybody try it?

    Quick and easy to prepare and oh so tasty.
    I agree with previous comments and added garlic no onion powders, and vege stock paste, as well as peas and corn, what a winning combination

    many thanks for sharing
