Making this cheesy, carb-loaded treat at home can be a fun way to treat yourself to a comforting dinner after a long day. Small touches to a standard recipe, not only add flavour but also allows one to explore a wide range of combinations to make your meal interesting.
There’s never enough cheese in a mac n cheese recipe so experiment with a wide range – including cheddar, pepperjack, Emmenthal and brie.
Adding a dash of hot sauce, paprika or tabasco to your mac n cheese, cuts through the richness as well as a boost of flavour.
A great way to add contrast in textures to your gooey mac n cheese is to top it up with toasted panko breadcrumbs or crispy bacon bits.
Florets of broccoli or cauliflower, pureed spinach are all great ways to add flavour, colour and amplify the nutritional value of your pasta dish.
There is something about fresh herbs like rosemary, basil and oregano that make for a delightful addition to a savoury comfort recipe.
Got some bits of chicken or prawns in the fridge? Simply toss them into your mac n cheese before baking it in the oven.
Experiment with a variety of seasonings – peri peri, harissa, truffles and more – for an instant hit of flavour and give your mac n cheese an individual twist.
