MONSTER MAC AND CHEESE

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
3 cups packed fresh baby spinach
1 pound spinach fusilli
4 ounces pepper jack cheese, freshly grated
4 ounces Sage Derby cheese, freshly grated (or substitute sharp Cheddar)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the spinach to the blender, pushing it down toward the bottom to fit it all. Carefully ladle out 1/4 cup of the boiling water and add it to the spinach. Blend until smooth, about 10 seconds. Do not over blend or it will muddy the vibrant color. Set aside to cool.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, toss together the pepper jack, Sage Derby cheese and cornstarch in a bowl until well combined.
  • Set a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the evaporated milk and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the cheese mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is silky and smooth, about 5 minutes. Off the heat, whisk in the spinach puree, then toss with the pasta.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds cavatappi
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 ounces pancetta, small diced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce
4 cups whole milk
8 ounces fontina cheese, grated
8 ounces Gruyere, grated
8 ounces Havarti cheese, grated
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Boil pasta in boiling salted water until very al dente?about 3 minutes less than the box instructions (it will finish in the oven).
  • Render pancetta in a large oven-safe pan or French braiser over medium heat until still chewy and not quite crispy, about 20 minutes (it will finish crisping in the oven). Remove pancetta and drain all but 1 tablespoon rendered fat. Add butter, melt and then add flour to make roux. Whisk until smooth, then cook until blonde in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, Dijon and hot sauce. Whisking vigorously, slowly add milk. Bring to simmer, whisking constantly, then cook, whisking occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • Add fontina, Gruyere, Havarti and blue cheese and season with salt and pepper. Mix in pasta until fully coated. Cover entire top with pancetta and bake until bubbly and gooey, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.
  • Unbaked Gourmet Mac & Cheese can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before baking, and add on another 10 minutes in the oven.
