Typically, a recipe that combines pasta and sauce instructs that the noodles be slightly undercooked so they can finish cooking in the sauce. I like the curly shape, the density of the noodle, and the ridges that hold on to all of that delicious cheese sauce. With no roux and only 2 kinds of cheese, this simple mac and cheese recipe without flour will become your go to mac and cheese recipe! The PastaĬavatapi noodles are my favorite for mac and cheese. This homemade, extra creamy mac and cheese comes together so easily. Either way, you’re going to love this dish! Some like baked macaroni and cheese and some like stovetop macaroni and cheese. So it’s not a huge deal if it happens to you, but it does affect the consistency, making it less smooth.This extra creamy stovetop mac and cheese, made in just 20 minutes without flour, is the best creamy mac and cheese recipe ever! The good news is, the taste wasn’t affected at all. I didn’t realize my mom had a convection oven and I baked at regular temp/time, and guess what happened? Curdled. If you have a convection oven, reduce your temp by 25 degrees! If your oven is too hot, it could cause your sauce to curdle. My biggest tip here is to make sure your oven is accurate. Hardly any stovetop cooking required - the oven does most of the work, and oh my gosh guys is this impressive. Then you just toss that cheese mixture with your pasta and bake in a buttered baking dish. Then add your liquid (in this case, we’re using half and half) and shredded cheeses. For the sauce, all you need to do is whisk eggs with some cream cheese. This southern baked macaroni and cheese follows the custard route, relying on eggs to help thicken the cheesy sauce rather than a roux. Eliminating the béchamel from macaroni and cheese (and still being successful making it) was one of my first ah-ha moments in the cheesy world of mac. For me though, I find béchamel can be really thick and sometimes tricky to make correctly.
Many macaroni and cheese recipes follow this as the base, then it’s just about adding whatever cheese you want. Béchamel is a mother sauce - flour and butter sautéed then whisked with warm milk to create a thick white sauce. That is, of course, unless I made the boxed variety, which happened often. When I was a teenager and even in my early 20s, I thought that making macaroni and cheese meant for sure making a béchamel and adding cheese to it.
