MOZZARELLA MACARONI AND CHEESE
I love mac and cheese, but sometimes the traditional cheddar versions have way more salt than I can handle. I love the texture of this one, too - there's no grainy feel to the sauce like you get with cheddar cheese. Recipe is by Angie McGowan of the blog Eclectic Recipes.

Steps:
- Combine 1/4 cup water and rennet in a small bowl; mix well.
- Combine remaining 1/2 cup water and citric acid in another small bowl; mix until dissolved.
- Pour milk into a large pot set over medium heat. Stir in water-citric acid mixture. Heat milk, stirring occasionally, until it registers 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
- Remove milk from heat and stir in rennet mixture in a figure-8 motion for 30 seconds. Stir counterclockwise for 30 seconds to still the milk. Let stand, covered, until milk sets into curd, 5 to 10 minutes. Press edge of the curd gently with a palette knife or the back of a spoon to check for firmness.
- Slice vertically into the pot to cut curd into 3/4-inch cubes with a palette knife. Stir curds gently, but leave cubes mostly intact.
- Return pot to the heat; cook over medium heat, stirring curds gently, until temperature reaches 109 degrees F (43 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Ladle curds into a colander set over a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Press curds gently to extract liquid whey. Pour drained whey back into the pot.
- Heat whey to 185 degrees F (85 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Wearing gloves, tear off a piece of curd and place on a slotted spoon. Dip curd into hot whey for 5 to 10 seconds. Stretch, fold, and knead the curd. Repeat until mozzarella is smooth and elastic. Knead in salt and form curd into a ball. Repeat dipping and kneading process with remaining curd.
- Allow mozzarella to cool. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator.

MOZZARELLA MAC AND CHEESE
Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the noodles and cook to al dente per the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute. Add the milk, a cup at a time, whisking or stirring with a wooden spoon after each addition until thickened. Add the mozzarella, Swiss and 1/2 cup Parmesan and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. At this point if you want to add fun mix-ins like cut-up hot dogs, crispy bacon, peas or hot sauce, now's the time to do so. Stir in the noodles. It may seem overly saucy at this point, but once it bakes up, it'll be perfect!
- Pour into a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Dollop all over with the pizza sauce. In a medium bowl, toss the breadcrumbs, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle all over the mac and cheese. Bake until browned and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh basil and enjoy!
