Green Mac And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the spinach, parsley, and ½ cup (120 ml) milk, and process until evenly mixed.
• In a large pot, bring water and 1 tbsp salt to a boil over high heat. Add the elbows and cook until al dente, roughly 6-7 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain.
• In a large pot, combine the butter and flour on medium-high heat, and stir until the mixture has become golden brown.
• Add 2 cups (470 ml) milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper, and salt to the pot and stir until well incorporated.
• Add in the cheddar cheese and mix until well incorporated.
• Add in the spinach mixture and stir until fully incorporated and the green color is consistent.
• Mix in the pasta and pour into a casserole dish.
• Top the macaroni with mozzarella and broil for 5 minutes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the milk, butter and flour into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer, whisking continuously until you have a smooth, thick sauce, about 3-4 mins. Don't worry if there are a few lumps - the sauce will be blended later. Season well, then add the mustard, both cheeses and spinach.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 5 mins. Add the broccoli and continue cooking until the pasta is cooked through and the broccoli is soft. Drain.
• Transfer half the cooked broccoli to the cheese sauce. Whizz the cheese sauce until smooth, creamy and bright green using a hand blender (or stand mixer). Loosen with a splash of milk, if needed. Stir in the pasta, remaining broccoli and the peas and tip into a large baking dish.
• If making the topping, put the bread, basil, oil and half the nuts or seeds in a food processor and whizz to coarse, green crumbs. Scatter over the pasta along with the remaining nuts or seeds. Bake for 20-25 mins, until the topping is crunchy and the sauce is bubbling. Will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
