Grain free, dairy free, mac’n cheese. Are you ready for mac’n cheese?

Living without allergens can feel like you’re on another planet, one where there are rules you don’t know and don’t understand! And it’s really hard to learn these rules when you’re always hungry!!

There are lots of decisions to make…recipes to search for…and you might find yourself wondering if anything is safe at times.

There are safe foods…and if you can’t find them on the grocery store shelves, we can prepare those safe foods for you ahead of time.

Today’s amazing convenience food is the Fastest Mac’n Cheese I know of. Hold on tight to something, and say this with me…

Mac ‘n Cheese is Back!

That’s right! We have a convenience food that cooks up quickly, without gluten, dairy, egg, corn, soy, peanut, tree nut, or other typical allergens. And you can make it at home with ingredients you can get at a regular grocery store or online.

Seriously! Some grain free macaroni, nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and , salt. That’s it. No special equipment, no special techniques. If you can boil water, and use a measuring spoon, you got this!

Equipment

  • Measuring Spoons
  • Saucepan
  • Colander / Strainer
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Liquid Measuring Cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Grain-Free Pasta
  • ¾ Cup Dairy-Free Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Dairy-Free Butter

Seasonings

  • 1 Tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Tapioca Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder

Instructions
 

  • In a large sauce pan, bring 2 quarts of water to boil add pasta and boil 1 minute less than package directions.
  • While pasta is boiling, assemble seasonings in a small bowl, toss with a spoon.  
  • Drain pasta and return to pan.  Immediately add dairy free butter and gently stir until melted. 
  • When pasta is coated in dairy free butter, sprinkle seasonings over pasta.  Gently stir until pasta is coated with seasoning. 
  • When pasta is coated in seasoning, pour milk over pasta.  Return pasta to stove and turn burner on low.  Bring milk to a simmer.  Gently stir pasta while sauce simmers 1-2 minutes.   

Notes

It’s better to under cook your pasta for this recipe.  Under cooked pasta will finish cooking while it simmers in the sauce and come out perfect.  
Over cooked pasta will split and become mushy.  When in doubt, go with “al-dente” pasta.

The first time I made this Mac’N Cheese, I was speechless. I haven’t scarfed Mac’N Cheese that fast since I was cramming for finals!!
