Cooking Instructions
- 1
Largely cubed veggies into cooking blender e.g. thermomix = tmx
- 2
OR without tmx: smaller cubed veggies into pot with boiling water (amount as required in recipe, here 4c)
- 3
Add 4cups of hot water to tmx (if water room-temp, add 5min more to cooking time in next step)
- 4
Program varoma for 20min at speed 1 and cover with lid and sieve
- 5
Without tmx: boil veggies until buttery soft, ca. 20min
- 6
Bring slightly salted water to a boil.
- 7
Add pasta (macaroni, in Spain "tiburon pequeño" are perfect) and cook until 'al dente' (remember the pasta will soak up a lot of 'cheese' sauce, so don't make it mushy soft)
- 8
When veggies done, turn temperature off and leave in pot / tmx with lid on
- 9
Without the cooking blender you could now place veggies into a normal thermoresistant blender OR
- 10
Use whatever you usually use to blend food in. This will take much longer of course manually, but don't give up. You might want to have blended your cashews first apart from the veggie mix and strain the last bits out before adding to veggies.
- 11
Add seasonings, optional turmeric, and cashews to pot or tmx with veggies
- 12
For tmx program 100°C 90sec speed 6 OR if using non-cooking blender, blend w/out the temperature option
- 13
The cashews probably won't be fully integrated and smooth, so continue blending for 60sec at highest speed
- 14
Drain pasta when finished and place into oven-proof casserole
- 15
Pour ¾ blended veggie mix (should resemble melted cheese) over pasta and mix well
- 16
Several dashes of pepper of your choice over pasta, don't stir and cover with left ¼ veggie 'cheese' sauce
- 17
Sprinkle cheese if melted cheese crust desired
- 18
For 10min into 220°C oven
- 19
Let bake and check for melted cheese. Turn down to 170C as soon as melted and leave in 5min longer
- 20
Take out of oven, let stand 5min. Then portion and serve w/paprika mild or spicy - as you prefer
- 21
Depending on individual taste, you or your guests might want to add some salt and pepper over mac'n'cheese

The sodium citrate is the key to this recipe. It is an emulsifier that helps the cheese melt without separating into a greasy mess.

Mac and Cheese Mac and Cheese
Finally, it is here! I had been wanting to make this dish for as long as I can remember. My daughters have been requesting for this for ages. Perhaps I couldn't find a great mac n cheese recipe, I mean I'd tried my fair share of mac n cheese, home-cooked and at eateries. I wasn't at all impressed. Sure, some are Instagram-worthy with all that photogenic cheese pull but most fall flat on flavors.They were either too gloopy or too blend without much depth in flavors. Some of the cheese sauces are too over-powering which kinda makes me wanna throw up. Yes, it is that bad. And please don't get me started on the bread crumbs. I also had tried my hands on some of the celebrity chef's recipes, but I still wasn't impress. Until I stumbled upon Heston Blumenthal's version. He is right, you will never cook mac n cheese the same way again.He is right about the typical cheese sauce or mornay sauce whereby it starts with a roux and mixing in the milk and cheese. The roux will somehow makes the sauce gloopy and mask the flavors of the cheese. He switched the traditional ingredients and methods out for 4 simple elements: wine, stock, corn flour and cheese. I was a bit mindblown cos I finally found someone who agrees with me. Without much hesitation, I went ahead with his recipe and guess what? He also uses the same pasta cooking method as I am. How cool is that?

Mac and Cheese Mac and Cheese
This is just a simple macaroni and cheese recipe made from scratch. I like to top my mac and cheese with sweet Italian sausage or white mushrooms before loading it with even more cheese and baking it in the oven

Easy mac n cheese! Easy mac n cheese!
I used penne pasta instead of elbow Macaroni n I think it came out just as good. U can add bread crumbs to this recipe. If you choose too mid way through cooking cover mac n cheese with foil so the bread crumbs don't burn. U can also add bacon, ham or tomatoes before putting it in the oven as well. ;)

Mac n' Cheese Spinach Casserole Mac n' Cheese Spinach Casserole
Amongst some of my favorite cooking shows American, 🙂 British, (I do enjoy watching Nigella but my absolute favorite is Lorraine Pascale) 🙂 French and Italian, 🙂 haven’t found a good Spanish one yet..(so if anyone in Spain knows one please let me know so I can watch it), I also have a favorite Greek Cooking show which is at least for me the best I have seen from Greece so far. The host’s name is Vaggelis Driskas and the cooking show is called MasterClass. His cookbooks have been awarded and have easy to follow recipes, the great part is that some do come in the English language. So, if your into watching International Cooking Shows, I am sure you will enjoy his even though Greek is the main language on his show, but that should not stop you because I watch many different cooking shows from around the world and I just look at the ingredients and know what they are making.Till this day I have yet to meet someone who has told me that they don’t love good old fashion Mac n’ Cheese…:) So, a few days ago I was watching his show and he did this fantastic Mac n’ Cheese Spinach Casserole, which I just had to try! and I did and it came out so delicious that I wanted to share the recipe with you. If you love Mac n’ Cheese, you will love the twist that he has given to this dish. I tweaked it with a little more Cheddar and Parmesan Cheese. 🙂

Loaded Mac and Cheese Loaded Mac and Cheese
This is a quick, creamy macaroni and cheese with a little extra. Adding the sausage, peppers and onions makes this a full meal. Experiment with different types of cheese that melt well: cheddar gouda, fontaine, provolone, swiss, gruyere, muenster, jack, etc. I used gouda in the pictures.

Nan's Mac & Cheese Nan's Mac & Cheese
My sister and I seem to be on an endless quest for the "perfect" mac & cheese. Thought our search had ended one night when we devoured some her son had made only to find out he "just threw it together" and couldn't even tell us what cheeses he'd used. They were "whatever I had in my fridge." He's never duplicated it. So this is my attempt.#GoldenApron23
