Ingredients
- 1 pound dry weight pasta elbow, macaroni, cellentani, or any other pasta
CRISPY TOPPING:
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter
- ⅔ cup panko breadcrumbs
SAUCE:
- ¼ cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- ¼ cup flour all purpose or plain
- 4 ½ cups milk divided, I used skim, but 2% or full fat are fine to use
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or corn flour
- 1 pinch salt to season
- 1 pinch pepper to season
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder or a vegetable stock powder
- ¾ cup low fat grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated, divided
- 6 ounces low fat mozzarella cheese sliced
Instructions
- Boil pasta in salted water, according to packet instructions, until JUST al dente (do not over-boil)! Drain and rinse well with cold water. Set aside.
- Preheat oven grill or broiler to 190°C | 375°F.
FOR CRISPY TOPPING:
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large, oven proof pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the Panko breadcrumbs; stir to coat and cook until golden browned. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
FOR THE SAUCE:
- Melt the ¼ cup of butter in the same pan / skillet. Add the garlic and sauté until just fragrant (about 1 minute). Whisk in the flour; continue to cook while whisking (or stirring) for at least 2 minutes. Reduce heat down to low; gradually whisk in 4 cups of the milk (about ¼ cup at a time), whisking between each addition to combine. Bring to a boil until beginning to thicken.
- In a separate jug, combine the cornstarch and remaining ½ cup milk; whisk until lump free and stir through the white sauce to thicken completely. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the bouillon powder.
- Remove from heat and add in the cheddar, ¾ cup of parmesan cheese, and the mozzarella slices. Stir through until all of the cheese has melted. Toss the pasta through the sauce until completely coated.
- Top with the Panko and the remaining parmesan cheese. Broil (or grill) in oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until bubbling.
- Allow to cool down slightly before serving.
Notes
- Eat alongside a piece of our delicious Cornbread and our Sticky Oven BBQ Ribs.
