Cómo preparar Ultimate Mac N Cheese
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook pasta according to package directions in a large pot of boiling, well-salted water until al dente, about 7-12 minutes. Drain and set aside; do not rinse.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add shallots and cook until light golden, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle shallot-butter mixture with flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Add white wine and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low.
- Gradually add the shredded cheese, one handful at a time, stirring until each addition is almost melted before adding the next.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons chives, Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg.
- Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and stir to combine.
- Pour the pasta mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish.
- In a food processor, pulse bread cubes with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon chives, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until coarse crumbs form.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the pasta and cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy!
