Macaroni and cheese in the oven - 79 cooking recipes

This hearty dish requires a minimal amount of ingredients: macaroni, cheese and spices. You can supplement it with other products at your own discretion. The pasta should be boiled until half cooked (al dente), then baked either in sauce or simply with grated cheese sprinkled on top.

The result is practically a casserole - a ready-made meal on its own or a side dish for meat. Almost any sauce containing tomato paste, cream, milk, mushrooms, vegetables, fruits, berries is suitable for it.

You can diversify recipes by adding a variety of products. These are: tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, carrots, onions, garlic, ham, sausages, smoked (for quickness) or raw meat, minced meat, eggs, cottage cheese, fresh, salted, pickled mushrooms, red fish, green peas.

To make the dish juicy, tender and very tasty, it is recommended to cook it in sauce. To do this, prepare the sauce while cooking the pasta. It can be any of the above. Classic: milk with butter, flour, salt and spices. Place the undercooked pasta in a mold and pour in the sauce. Top with grated cheese. Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated oven.

On the festive table, this dish is usually served in the same container in which it was baked. And it is better that it be a beautiful oval, square or rectangular shape of a small size. It should come with a comfortable spatula. Serve only hot, otherwise the cheese will set quickly. When cold, it is less tasty, although this is not for everyone.
