When you’re craving comfort food, nothing beats a steaming bowl of hearty goodness. And this mac and cheese recipe from The Groovy Food Company might just be the perfect solution. They’ve put a unique twist on the classic dish with a secret ingredient that elevates the flavor to new heights.
While the recipe is remarkably simple to follow, it still delivers the comforting satisfaction of a good old-fashioned pasta dish. Plus, it’s a crowd-pleaser, so what’s not to love? This recipe is perfect for a family meal, serving four people with enough cheesy goodness to go around.
The key to this recipe lies in the unexpected addition of pale ale. This gives the mac and cheese a subtle, slightly hoppy depth of flavor that complements the creamy richness of the cheese perfectly.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious mac and cheese:
* 50ml The Groovy Food Company Organic Butter Flavour Cooking Spray
* Two garlic cloves, crushed
* 50g spinach
* 500ml milk
* 250ml pale ale
* 220g macaroni
* 100g grated cheddar
* 200g grated mozzarella
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to its highest setting.
2. In a casserole dish or frying pan, melt the butter and sauté the crushed garlic for a couple of minutes.
3. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Pour in the milk and ale, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
4. Add the macaroni and stir occasionally for about 20 minutes, or until the pasta is mostly cooked but still slightly firm (al dente).
5. Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the cheddar and half of the mozzarella. As the cheese starts to melt, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top.
6. Place the dish under the grill for around 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
7. Let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving and enjoying your cheesy, comforting creation!
This recipe is a perfect example of how a simple twist can transform a classic dish into something truly special. So, grab your ingredients, get your kitchen ready, and prepare to experience a new dimension of mac and cheese goodness!
