Golden Mac n' Cheese



Golden Mac n' Cheese

Serving: 2-3 | Time: 25 minutes
INGREDIENTS:

Elbow noodles (12 oz)
2 tbsp All Purpose Flour
2 tbsp Butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese ( I use sartori brand from kroger!)
Pepper
1 tbsp dijon mustard
turmeric for coloring! 
cayenne pepper

METHOD:

(1) Cook Macaroni according to package

(2) Drain and transfer to large bowl; set aside

(3) Start your Roux:
        - Melt 2 tbsp butter in saucepan
        -  Whisk in flour
        -  Pour in heavy whipping cream and continue to whisk; smooth out any lumps!
(4) Once Roux is done, it is time to start flavoring! Add in parmesan cheese and whisk. (feel free to add more than 1/2 cup if you don't feel the flavor is strong enough!)

(5) Add dijon mustard and other spices except cayenne! The turmeric is more for giving it that golden color rather than taste so be careful not to do too much! sprinkle a little at time and stir!

(6) Once sauce is done, pour over noodles and serve! For those with a spicy palette (like myself!) sprinkle cayenne pepper on top
