Taverncore Mac and cheese! Recipe is as follows: 1 lb cavatappi pasta cooked in salted, boiling water for 7 minutes 1 lb extra sharp cheddar 1 lb mozzerella 1 lb smoked gouda 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1 tbsp garlic granules or powder ½ tbsp paprika smoked preferred, you can also add 1-2 drops of liquid smoke if you only have regular paprika 4 tbsp flour 4 tbsp butter 12 oz evaporated milk 1 can 2 cup whole milk fresh oregano garnish, optional Instructions Prep Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) Cook the pasta in salted, boiling water for 7 minutes. We want the pasta slightly underdone, as it will finish cooking in the oven. Set aside for later. Freshly shred all the cheese. Do not buy pre-shredded, as that typically has a coating to prevent clumping, and will make the cheese sauce grainy. Mix the freshly shredded cheeses together, and divide in half. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, garlic granules, and paprika. Set aside. Prepare the sauce In a large saute pan on medium heat, melt the butter. Add in 1/2 of the spices, and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the flour. Cook for 2 minutes, while stirring continuously. Add in the evaporated milk, a little at a time, ensuring you fully combine the mixture before adding more. Add in the whole milk, a little at a time, ensuring the cheese fully melts before adding more. Add the remaining spices. Mix in the cooked pasta with the cheese sauce. Bake In a large baking dish, add 1/2 of the cooked pasta and cheese sauce mixture. Sprinkle half of the remaining shredded cheese. Add the remaining pasta and cheese mixture, then top the whole dish with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake the macaroni and cheese for 25 minutes. Finally, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the top of the macaroni and cheese begins to brown. Top with fresh oregano and serve. Enjoy, adventurer! #macaroniandcheese #macandcheese #Recipe
This squash is baked not once, but TWICE! Recipe: Ingredients 2 butternut squash medium to large 4 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp cinnamon ½ cup dark brown sugar ½ cup heavy whipping cream 5 oz brie salt to taste Instructions Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) Cut the squash in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, and discard. Drizzle each half with about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Sprinkle the mixture evenly on all halves. Place in the oven and roast until the squash is soft and easily mashed with a fork. Depending on the size of your squash, this will take between 60-90 minutes. Set the oven to 400F (200C) Cut the brie into small cubes, set aside. Scoop out the insides of the squash into a medium bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch-thick walls. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the squash. Slowly add in the heavy whipping cream, about 1 tbsp at a time. Mix until you have a consistency of mashed potatoes. Taste the squash, if you need to then add more salt at this point. Fill the squash halves with the mashed mixture, and top with the cubes of brie. Return the squash halves to the oven and bake until the brie melts, about 10 more minutes. Serve, and enjoy! #Recipe #fallrecipes #holidayseason
