Thank you thank you!What is the absolute BEST natural Mac N Cheese recipe?
If you don't have fontina and gorgonzola you could just use Cheddar but it turns out really nice like this.





375g macaroni


300ml cream


1/3 cup vegetable stock


1 1/4 cups fontina cheese, grated


1/3 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled


1 1/4 cups parmesan, coarsely grated


1 teaspoon Dijon mustard


2 tablespoons italian/flat leaf parsley, chopped


1 tablespoon chives, chopped





Preheat oven to moderate, cook pasta until tender then drain. Meanwhile heat cream and stock in saucepan until hot, Remove from heat and cheeses but only half of the parmesan. Stir until melted. Mix in mustard and herbs then cream and pasta. Put in 2 1/2 litre oven proof dish and cover with remaining parmesan then bake for 20 minutes or until nicely browned.





This recipe is nice as it...if you want to add paprika I'd leave out the parsley and chives. For a crumb topping just sprinkle with breadcrumbs (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup and dot with a bit butter to help it brown up, about a tablespoon would be enough).What is the absolute BEST natural Mac N Cheese recipe?
