#Gluten free macaroni and cheese bake mac#
If you love mac and cheese and are interested in finding new ways to interpret it, Melt is the book for you. The technique for a basic gluten-free sauce and dozens of amazing macaroni and cheese recipes can be found in Melt: The Art of Macaroni and Cheese by Stephanie Stiavetti and Garrett McCord. Try any recipe and if you find you need more liquid, make a note of it for future meals. I use up to 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water added to the cheese sauce to make it thinner than I normally would to compensate for the extra absorbent qualities of most gluten-free pastas. The other thing that is different about using gluten-free pasta in a mac and cheese recipe is that it absorbs more liquid than normal pasta. Reduce the heat to low and stir until the cheese is completely melted. Season with salt and pepper and stir in 10 oz of shredded cheese (about 2-1/2 cups). Add in 2 cups warm milk, whisking until the sauce has thickened. It will only take about 1 minute to reach the right temperature and color. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a flat-edged spatula. You don’t want any browning to occur or the rice will burn. The basic “recipe” for converting any mac and cheese recipe to gluten-free, is to replace the 2 tbsp regular all-purpose flour with the same amount of sweet rice (or glutinous) flour and add it as soon as the 2 tbsp butter is melted. Be patient, if you keep stirring, the cheese will melt and your sauce will be silky smooth. If it comes back to a boil, your sauce will break and become grainy. Just like regular flour, watch it carefully because it can go from pale to burned extremely quickly and sweet rice flour is especially sensitive to the heat.Īnother trick to the perfect white sauce – the old-fashioned name for a Bechamel sauce – is to never let the sauce boil once you’ve stirred in the cheese and it is melted. But you can use sweet rice flour just as easily and get great results. The inclusion of flour in most sauces makes them unsafe for anyone avoiding gluten. Roux is traditionally made by cooking equal parts of flour and butter until they just start to turn a light golden color and have a slightly nutty aroma. Many classic French sauces depend on a roux (prounounced “roo”) for thickening and Bechamel, the base for 95% of the macaroni and cheese recipes out there is one of them. This recipe may not be exactly the same as the “blue box” version, but everyone will enjoy it and no one will know that it is gluten-free. If you or anyone in your family has been put on a gluten-free diet, you know how frustrating it is when you or your child wants their favorite comfort foods and you have to say no.
