Home Made Mac & Cheese

Is there anything more comforting that Mac & Cheese? This is a simple go to in the winter as a heartier meal between soups, stews, and chili. It takes 30 minutes max including boiling water!

Start by making a roux. Melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat and then whisk in 1/4 cup of flour until it starts to brown. Turn down the heat and add a can of coconut cream, whisking until the mixture is smooth. This is also when to add your preferred spices. Standard for us is pepper, mustard powder (or in a pinch a squirt of prepared mustard), onion powder and garlic powder. Spice with your soul! Now, fold in a bag of shredded cheese (or about half a block shredded). This will become nice and smooth with good pull. Stir in some reserved water from your cooked pasta. If it gets too thick, stir in more coconut cream. Mix this into your cooked pasta and serve!
