Michael Symons Macaroni And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season generously with salt. Add the pasta and cook for 3 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the cauliflower and onions and saute until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the water or stock, bring to a simmer and simmer until everything is soft, about 3 minutes. Add the nutmeg. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
• Toss the pasta with the puree in a medium bowl. Transfer to a baking dish and top with the breadcrumbs, herbs and dairy-free Parmesan. Bake until warmed through and the breadcrumbs are toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shells and cook 1 minute less than package directions. Drain and set aside.
• For the dairy-free Parmesan: In the bowl of a food processor, add the cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and salt. Pulse until the consistency is a fine crumb. It will resemble freshly grated Parmesan.
• For the vegan cheese sauce: In a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the garlic and sweat for a minute or 2, until aromatic. Whisk in the flour until a sandy mixture forms. Slowly whisk in the cashew milk and allow the mixture to come to a simmer. Cook while whisking constantly until thickened, 3 minutes. Whisk in the Dairy-Free Parmesan and hot sauce and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the pasta and taste for seasoning. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter, add onion and garlic and sweat over medium heat for 3 minutes with a pinch of salt until vegetables are translucent and aromatic. Add flour and stir with wooden spoon until the flour is completely incorporated with the vegetables, cooking for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock 1/3 cup at a time, stirring vigorously to ensure no lumps form. Bring to boil and reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 40 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in the half-and-half, Cheddar, mascarpone, and egg. Toss sauce with macaroni and place in a 2-quart casserole pan. Mix bread crumbs and parsley in a small mixing bowl and sprinkle on top of pasta. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, or until bread crumbs are golden brown.

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts with paprika salt and pepper and set aside. Heat olive oil in large saute pan and place chicken in it browning on both sides. Place in 400-degree oven for 8 to10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool then dice into large pieces. Heat cream in large saucepan, add herbs, salt, and pepper and reduce by half. Add the cooked rigatoni, cheese and cooked chicken and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
