All kids love mac and cheese. It's written in their DNA. It can be hard to compete with the little blue box. Kraft loves to remind us our kids love their cheesy goodness. But that's not REALLY cheese. It's filled with delicious things like artificial dyes, preservatives, and ingredients that are only a few steps away from being plastic. It takes an entire stick of butter or margarine based on directions. Not to mention, the current controversy over Kraft's use of GMO products. Even one of these reasons is enough to want a better mac and cheese for your little one. All of them combined pretty much demand it. I played around with a few recipes, but this is the best one I've found so far! My kids loved it AND used their homemade bread to sop up every last bit of the cheesy goodness!!
Ingredients:
2 cups clean pasta- I found some great egg noodles in the German import section of our commissary! Two ingredients: Eggs and whole wheat durem. :)
2 cups almond milk-unsweetened
2 cups clean cheddar cheese (I like Boar's Head)
Simmer your pasta in the almond milk. It's important here you don't boil. You don't want to scald the milk and leave the sauce with a burnt flavor. Simmer until the pasta is cooked through. Add the two cups cheddar cheese and stir as it melts. This will produce a delicious cheese sauce coating the noodles. Let it sit 2-3 minutes so the cheese thickens slightly. ENJOY!
