Baked Mac & Cheese for One
Description
For those times you crave something cheesy and comforting but don’t want to make a whole pan of macaroni and cheese.
Ingredients
- ¾ cups Uncooked Whole Wheat Macaroni Or Other Pasta
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Flour
- ¼ cups 1% Milk
- ¼ teaspoons Dijon Mustard
- ¼ teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
- ½ cups Shredded Gouda Cheese (other Good Melting Cheese)
- ¼ teaspoons (pinch) Cayenne Pepper, Or More Depending On Heat Preference
- ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt, Or More To Taste
- ¼ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper, Or More To Taste
- 1 Tablespoon Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs
- ¼ teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cook pasta according to package directions (I cooked mine to al dente). Drain.
Melt butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Whisk in the flour for 30 seconds. Whisk in the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat. Add in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and gouda; whisk until melted and smooth. Season to taste with cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Toss the pasta with the cheese sauce and spoon into an individual oven-proof bowl or dish.
Toss panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, and a tiny pinch of Kosher salt together in a small bowl; scatter evenly over the top of the pasta.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese sauce is bubbling and the breadcrumb topping is crisp and golden.
