Utensilios/Equipment/Ustentsiles

  • 2 Medium pots
  • Cheese shredder
  • Wooden spoon
  • Colander

Ingredientes/Ingredients/Ingrédients
 

  • 200 g dry pasta macaroni or fussili
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 200 ml heavy whipping cream
  • 400 g Mimolette cheese shredded
  • 5 g Dijon mustard optional
  • Salt & Pepper to season

Preparación/To Prepare/Préparation
 

  • Add salted water to a medium pot and let it come to a rolling boil. Then, add the pasta al dente, meaning it should be cooked, but it mustn’t fall apart; let it have some texture. It should take 7 minutes, but check the instructions of the pasta package.
  • In the meantime, in another pot at a medium heat start preparing the sauce. To do that, melt the butter, then add the heavy whipping cream and the Dijon mustard. Mix the lot ant let it come to a simmer. Then, add the shredded mimolette or cheddar cheese. Do not stop mixing, this will allow the cheese to melt and not stick at the bottom of the pot. It shall slowly melt. Turn the heat off and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Once the pasta is al dente, strain it but don’t rinse it. Add it to the pot with the cheese sauce and fold it in for the sauce to cover the pasta delicately. Verify the seasoning.
  • Serve and enjoy. I am sure everyone will love it.

Notas/Notes

  • I highly advise that you buy your cheese and shred it yourself, since pre-shredded cheese has celulose added that prevents uniform melting. This shall make your sauce lumpy instead of silky.
  • This recipe is tastier if you enjoy it right after you prepare it. Re-heating makes the sauce not be as silky.
  • This is a heavy dish, so I suggest you serve it with a side of green salad. This shall be enough for a hearty lunch.
