The Wonders Of Macaroni Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil with the oil and salt. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 12 minutes. Pour water off pasta into colander and rinse with cool water.
• Combine white wine, seafood stock, and thyme, reducing in a medium saucepan. Remove thyme and set aside.
• In medium saucepan, saute porcini and shiitake mushrooms in butter, until soft. Add shallots and cook until translucent, approximately 2 minutes. Add cream and reduce by half. Add the cheeses and cook until just melted. Combine with other sauce. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Bring water to boil and add whole lobster for approximately 12 minutes. Then place in ice water to cool. Remove the lobster from the shell.
• Add the pasta to sauce, toss to coat and plate. Warm lobster tail in oven and slice over top of pasta. To serve, top with micro collard greens and parsley.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the chili powder, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and stir to combine. Add the beef and break it up into small pieces with a large spoon; cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and Dijon until combined. Pour in the chicken stock and 1 teaspoon salt, stir to combine and bring to a boil, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the elbow macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is al dente, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Cheddar and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the parsley. Garnish with more parsley, if desired.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Bring the Basic Bechamel Sauce to a simmer over low heat. Add the white wine and stir to combine. Stir in the mustard, paprika, and salt and pepper. Gradually add the cheeses, reserving about 1/4 cup of each cheese for the top of the casserole. Stir the sauce thoroughly between each addition of the cheese. Simmer until the cheese is well blended.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the elbow macaroni and cook to al dente. Drain.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large casserole dish (or in numerous smaller dishes) add a 1/2-inch of the warm cheese sauce. Fill the casserole with the drained elbow macaroni. Top with another layer of cheese sauce, covering the macaroni completely and sprinkle with the reserved cheese. Bake the macaroni until the top is brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the casserole dish. Remove from the oven and serve hot.
• In a small saucepan over low heat, add the onion and 1/2 cup of butter and saute until very soft, but do not brown. In another saucepan, scald the milk. Stir the sauteed onions into the milk along with the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Make a blonde roux by mixing the remaining 1/2 cup butter and the flour in a small bowl. Add the roux to the simmering milk and cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.*
