Pesto Mac & Cheese

Ingredients:

  • 1/2lb pasta

  • 4 tbsp of butter

  • 4 tbsp of flour

  • 2 cups of milk

  • 1/2 cup of pesto (homemade or store bought)

  • 1 cup cheddar

  • 1/2 cup mozz

  • 1/2 cup parmesan

  • Salt, pepper, paprika, garlic/ onion powder

Recipe:

  1. Start by cooking your pasta in salted water until it’s al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.

  2. Add 4 tbsp of butter to a pan on medium heat. Once it’s melted, add 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook that until fragrant.

  3. Mix in 4 tbsp of flour. Slowly add 2 cups of milk. Whisk together to ensure you don’t get any lumps.

  4. Mix your sauce until smooth then season it. Add 1/2 cup of pesto and whisk it together well.

  5. Add in your cheeses and mix until a creamy sauce forms. Mix in your cooked pasta and some reserved pasta water. Add more mozz if you want it extra cheesy! Enjoy :)
