Ingredients
- 1 pound gluten-free elbow macaroni
- 4 Tablespoons butter unsalted
- ¼ cup gluten-free flour
- 2½ cups milk avoid skim milk
- 4 ounces American cheese about 6 slices, deli-style, cut into thin strips, white
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded, extra-sharp
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard optional
Instructions
Cook Pasta:
- Follow the package instructions to prepare the pasta. Be careful not to overcook it.
Make the Roux:
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
- Add the gluten-free flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute.
Add Milk:
- Gradually whisk in the milk, then cook over medium heat, whisking until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble. Remove from the heat.
Add Cheese:
- Stir in the American cheese, cheddar, salt, and mustard (if using) until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Combine:
- Gently fold the cooked pasta into the cheese sauce. Heat over medium for 1 minute or until thoroughly heated.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- *My favorite gluten-free brands are ZENB Plant Based Elbow Pasta and Ancient Harvest Gluten-Free Elbows. I do not recommend Barilla Gluten-Free Elbows because the pasta broke apart into shards when mixed into the cheese sauce.
