Macaroni And Cheese With Snow Peas And Tomato Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season generously with salt. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. When you have 1 minute of cook time left, pour in the frozen peas. Drain and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large high-sided 10-inch saute pan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk. Reduce to low heat, bring to a simmer and cook until it becomes a thin gravy, about 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese and break up until smooth. Add the white pepper and ground mustard. Remove from the heat, add the bourbon if using and whisk to combine until fully incorporated. Stir in the Cheddar and American cheeses and cook until all the cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes. Taste and add salt as needed.
• Add the cooked pasta and peas to the cheese sauce and stir to thoroughly combine. Taste again and salt and pepper as needed before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare macaroni, adding green pepper and snow peas, stirring occasionally. Drain.
• Mix macaroni mixture with milk & butter, cheese envelope, green onion, tomato and mozzarella. Serve.

Steps:

• Boil the pasta. Meanwhile, in a small food processor, blitz together the tomatoes, crème fraîche and tomato purée into a sauce. (If you don't have a small processor, finely chop the tomatoes, then mix everything together.)
• Drain the pasta, saving a little of the cooking water, then return to the pan with the tomato sauce and half the cheese. Mix together until all the pasta is coated, then serve as a side dish, sprinkled with the remaining cheese.

Steps:

• Cook macaroni in a large saucepan as directed on package, adding snow peas to the boiling water for the last 2 minutes; drain. Return macaroni mixture to saucepan.
• Add margarine, milk and cheese sauce mix; mix well.
• Stir in remaining ingredients and serve.
