MACARONI ELBOW

I. Introduction

One of the earliest forms of pasta, macaroni is made from durum wheat and is shaped in short tubes with holes down the middle. Other varieties of macaroni include elbow macaroni (short and curved) and macaronicini (small shapes). The name macaroni is sometimes used in Italy as a kind of collective name for all dried hollow pasta types. In the Netherlands, macaroni is also called elbow pasta. This pasta can absorb the sauce extra well due to the hollow shape.

We choose just the best raw materials and have an extreme care during all the production phases.

Our macaroni may be promptly recognized by its proper thickness, its intense yellow-amber colour, its delicate taste, its forms and consistency after cooking.

3.2 Directions

Watch how to make this recipe.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cook the macaroni until still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, beat the egg. In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour. Whisk together over medium-low heat. Cook for a couple of minutes, whisking constantly. Don’t let it burn. Pour in the milk, add the mustard and whisk until smooth. Cook until very thick, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.
4. Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Whisk together until smooth. Pour the egg into the sauce, whisking constantly. Stir until smooth. Add in the cheese and stir to melt. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and the pepper. Add any additional spices if desired. Taste the sauce and add more salt and seasoned salt as needed! DO NOT UNDERSALT.
5. Pour in the drained, cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Serve immediately (while it’s still very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese and bake until bubbly and golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
