I moved out of my parents in June 2007, since then I have been trying to perfect my art of cooking/baking. According to my husband, I am getting there. In here you will be able to find recipes for all tastes (except for fish and seafood lovers, fish and I don't get along, and my husband is allergic to most shellfish). I hope you enjoy your experience here and I trust that you will find something to suit your taste buds!

Twisted Mac and Cheese

Seeing as November is coming around and the weather is slowly changing, I was looking for comfort foods! Yummy! I love mac and cheese but I get tired of the normal one. So I found this recipe and I played with it a   little and it came out oh so good! And bonus, it's easy and fast.

Ingredients

Macaroni
Mushrooms (I used about two 8 oz container, but use as much or as little as you want)
2 tbsp butter
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
12 oz feta cheese
spices (I used rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper)
2 big cloves of garlic crushed (or as much as you want)
1 cup of 35% cream (I used my 1% milk and I added corn starch to thicken it)

Heat oven to 500.
While your noodles are cooking, melt the butter, I use my big Wok, and cook the mushrooms until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the spices and the garlic, cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the cream, bring a to simmer. (At this point if you have used milk you would add your corn starch, I usually mix mine with a little bit of water to make it more liquid and therefore it is distributed evenly in my dish). Add half the feta cheese and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes.

In an oven proof dish, mix the sauce and the noodles together, top with remaining feta cheese. If you want to add more you could add some parmesan, It would be very good!  Put in the oven for 5 minutes, let is set for a minute or two and serve!

This picture is from my lunch the next day and it was just as tasty!




Enjoy!
