Creamy Macaroni & Cheese
5
The family’s version
- Macaroni and cheese
- Breadcrumb topping
- Broiled cheese crust
The Level 5 version
- 180 g small pasta, cooked very soft
- 250 ml thick smooth cheese sauce
- 1 tbsp cream cheese
- Warm milk as needed
Convert it
- Cook the pasta until it is very soft rather than al dente.
- Chop every pasta piece to 4 mm or smaller, using the gap between fork prongs as the measure.
- Fold through plenty of thick cheese sauce and cream cheese until the pasta is cohesive and moist.
- Check that the mixture holds on a fork without sauce dripping or pasta pieces falling away.
- Serve before breadcrumbs or broiling; crisp topping and chewy cheese crust stay with the family version.
EquipmentSharp knife or mini food processor, fork for testing
SLP tipUse more sauce than the family pan needs; Level 5 pasta must stay moist through the final bite.
Before serving: run the fork pressure test on the finished plate. Recipes guide you to a texture. Only the test confirms it.
