One Pot Stovetop Mac And Cheese With Shallots And Chilli What To Do:
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a low heat then add the shallots, cooking very gently for about 15 minutes until really soft but not coloured.
- Add the chilli and stir, cooking another minute. Stir through the flour, blending it well into the buttery shallots.
- Tip in the macaroni and stir well then pour in the milk and water.
- Season well with salt and pepper and stir through the mustard if you are using.
- Bring up to the boil then reduce the heat to a steady simmer.
- Cook for about 12-15 minutes, stirring often (just like making a risotto) until the pasta is tender and the sauce thickened.
- It will still be a little liquid at this stage but will thicken with resting. If it seems a little dry add a splash of extra water.
- Turn off the heat and allow the macaroni to rest and cool for 5 minutes.
- Scatter over the cheese, stirring until its melted and serve immediately.
- Resting the pasta before stirring through the cheese is an important step so don’t be tempted to skip it.
- If you add cheese to the too hot sauce you run the risk of it turning a little granular, which won’t effect the taste of you mac and cheese just the texture.
