Recipe's preparation
-
Start by boilng saucepan of water for pasta, season water. Add dried pasta when boiling.
Add both tasty and pamersan cheese to Thermomix Bowl and grate 5 Secs/Speed 8. Add all ingredients and cook 7 - 8 Mins/Speed 3/90 Degrees.
Once completed and pasta is cooked, drain pasta and drop back into saucepan. Add Cheese sauce to pasta and carefully combine. Serve.....I take no responsibility if you eat this whole thing on your own. I know I have in the past (oops). Enjoy.....there is nothing better on a cold winters day/night then the smell, taste and texture of Mac & Cheese
I have cooked double the mixture a couple of times now. It just fits in the Bowl and is great for a big feed if having heaps of kids/big kids around. When chopping the cheese....leave it go for about 15 seconds and make sure to cook the sauce for at least 16 mins. The sauce covers 800gs of elbow pasta perfectly anymore and I find it doesnt cover enough and becomes kind of cluggy. But make sure you dont use anything but good plain flour and most definitely don't use pre grated cheese as the anticaking agent in grated cheese clogs up the sauce and trust me....its tastes so much better when made from the block for both type of cheeses

I cant stress enough how much the best quality cheese you can get makes such a difference with this dish. Mix it up also....try some different types of cheese to create different flavours!!
Im chuffed everyone loves this Mac & Cheese....thankyou to everyone who is leaving comments and raiting it.

My son says its the best Mac and cheese in the world!!!!!! He actually typed that in himself. We love, love, love this recipe and it’s a winter regular in our house. I cook 500g pack of macaroni and find there is enough sauce for that much pasta. I also add frozen peas to the pasta when cooking and we often fry up some sausages then chop them and add to it. Makes heaps and always goes down well. Thanks for the recipe

This was so good!! I added peas & corn to the pasta, and dashes of onion powder, garlic powder and paprika, plus a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the cheese sauce.
Definitely note the advice of using good quality block cheese, not pre-grated.

Added a grated zucchini and carrot and cooked for 10 mins. Used a tbsp of veg stock paste and Dijon mustard as recommended. Added a tin of tuna in my serve which was nice. Next time would also add a bit of chicken stock paste, a cup of frozen veg and some ham or bacon instead of tuna. Would also use a stronger cheese because I found it a bit bland. Toddler loved it. Made heaps so I froze some.

Really simple & tasty.
I made this using parmesan, and a combo of colby and elbo cheese. Also added a tblsp of dijon and a tblsp of veggie stock paste (and omitted the salt) as suggested in the comments. Initially the dijon seemed a little overpowering, but this subsided.
I only had cheap plain flour, but I cooked it for an extra minute as suggested, and there was no floury taste whatsoever.
To ramp it up a little (after the kids grabbed theirs), I strirred through some chopped jalapenos and sprinkled with breadcrumbs, then baked it for about 20-30 minutes. OMG! Super-powered mac & cheese!!! My husband went back for thirds & still wanted more!
This is a great recipe and this sauce will be my go-to in the future. So simple and so versatile. Thanks for sharing!

cheriebah: Mine did this when I used pre-grated cheese...rescued it with a bit of lemon/pepper/salt mix (Aldi one in its own grinder) and half a cup of mayonnaise, and a tin of tuna..
Also did you boil the sauce? Should only go to 90degrees

donnasholiday: Perhaps try waiting until it has been refrigerated for a while, that way it will coagulate and perhaps stay together better?

This was so quick to make, and really yummy. I used maasdam cheese, a TB vegie stock and TB dijon mayo as per some other suggestions and mixed through some cooked bacon at the end! Delicious - better than any packet macncheese! And while ita not the healthiest of meals, its nice to know its not loaded with other nasties. 5 stars from the toddler too!

Ah-may-zing! Thank you! I used macaroni pasta and only what I had leftover in the packet so prob about 200g and the cheese sauce more than covered it. I sprinkled some onion powder and garlic powder in too just for something different and it was sooooo good. Sorry thighs!!!! lol
