Easiest Way to Prepare Yummy Green Mac and Cheese

Easiest Way to Prepare Yummy Green Mac and Cheese Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Green Mac and Cheese. Neither of us are big fans of mac and cheese but this was delicious and my kind of mac and cheese. It doesn't make a whole lot so you'll want to double if feeding very many. The other thing is that is takes quite a bit of oil to get the peppers into a paste so plan on that.

Meanwhile, cut off the bottom quarter-inch of the leek.

Trim, halve and wash the leek and peel the garlic, then finely slice with the broccoli stalks, reserving the florets for later.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the spinach, parsley, basil, parmesan, and garlic and purée until chunky.

Green Mac and Cheese instructions

1. Prepare all ingredients.

2. Cook the macaroni in simmering water with vegetable oil and salt until al dente (you can chew it but not 100% cooked so you won’t have overcooked macaroni on your plate later). Strain the macaroni.

3. Throw all of your green paste ingredients into food processor.

4. Make sure you have a smooth looking paste. Do not worry over the smell. It’ll taste good I promise.

5. Melt the butter on a pan to start working on the cheese sauce.

6. Pour in the half-and-half and add add the flour before the mixture start to simmer. Your mixture will start to thicken so mix it well with a whisker.

7. Add 4 tablespoonful of the green paste and mix well. Add salt, pepper, and basil. Don’t forget to taste.

8. Add the macaroni and then gently fold it in.

9. I cut my cheese into boxes (just because I hate washing cheese shredder) then add them to the pan. Fold them in gently.

10. There you have it! Your green mac and cheese. I love to add a pice of butter to my plate of pasta for some extra richness.

11. Feel free to add some cheese or both cheese and cream over your mac and cheese in a butter-lined baking dish and continue cooking it in 180 degrees Celcius oven for 10 minutes.
