It's easy to make gluten free mac and cheese at home!
Share:
Ingredients
- 12 ounces elbow macaroni or other pasta, gluten-free, 340g
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour gluten-free
- 3 cups milk dairy or non-dairy, 709ml
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Cook the macaroni until al dente in a large pot of boiling salted water. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Then whisk in the flour until the mixture turns slightly golden.
- Add the milk slowly, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Season with the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, and continue to cook, occasionally stirring, until the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the cheese to the saucepan, and stir until melted. A smooth, creamy sauce will form.
- Stir the cooked noodles into the cheese sauce using a spoon or silicone spatula.

Notes
- Don't overcook the pasta. Gluten-free pasta can become mushy quickly, so make sure to cook it al dente and drain it immediately to prevent it from becoming too soft.
- Let the flour and butter mixture cook until it begins to brown. This takes away the raw flavor.
- Slowly add the milk and constantly stir so you don’t have any lumps.
- If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more milk to thin it out.
- Grate the cheese yourself. It will melt much better than pre-shredded cheese.
- Use a box grater or the grater attachment on a food processor to quickly grate the cheese.
- Whole milk will have the best flavor and creaminess but use your favorite milk.
- Mix in your favorite protein, vegetables, or seasonings to customize this recipe.
- Don’t skip the nutmeg. It enhances the flavor of the milk and cheese.
- Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for 4 days.
