TOOLS YOU NEED
- Abbio Sauté Pan
- Wood stirring spoon
- Cheese grater or microplane
15 minutes
Trashless Trashy Mac & Cheese
Why settle for that stuff in the blue box when this tastes better and takes under 15 minutes to cook?
INGREDIENTS
-
2 cups dried macaroni (or whatever small shaped pasta you’ve got)
- 1 tablespoon turmeric
- 3-4 cups cheese (any cheese or mix of cheeses, we like sharp white cheddar)
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt
- Olive oil
PREP
- Nothing! Just cook!
RECIPE DIRECTIONS
- Place Abbio Sauté pan over high heat. Pour the macaroni straight into the dry pan.
- Add hot water to the pan to barely cover the macaroni.
- Sprinkle your turmeric into the pan and stir as the macaroni slowly absorbs the liquid.
- While pasta cooks, grate or chop your cheeses.
- Check on your macaroni, add a little more hot water as it continues to be absorbed (like we’re managing moisture in a risotto).
- Grab your tomatoes, pierce each one, and pile on a plate.
- Drizzle them with a little olive oil and season with salt.
- Grab a torch (I love saying that)! Blister the tomatoes until they get a nice char. If you don’t have a torch, you can just put them on a baking sheet under the broiler for about 1 minute.
- Chop up the blistered tomatoes and set aside.
- Give the mac a stir and sprinkle in the garlic powder.
- Test a noodle, they should be about 80% cooked. Season with a big pinch of salt.
- Add your cheese to the mac and stir it until the cheese melts.
- Mound your mac onto the plate, top with your blistered tomatoes, and indulge in being a kid again!
