You know when you get home from Sunday meeting and you have no idea what you're going to have because you haven't taken any meat out and you don't feel like making pancakes? As a matter of fact, you just don't feel like making a meal. Period! But alas, there will be no going out to eat because that costs money...
Well, I found this recipe in the "All you need is cheese" magazine that comes once in awhile. I like the homemade stuff but oftentimes it takes a little while to make. And time is of the essence. There are naps to be had before gospel meeting you know.
I recommend it for a quick meal. It is Hanna approved. Shawn gave her a portion and then he had to give her some more off his plate because she wanted more.
Servings 4-6 Preparation time: 10-15 minutes Cooking: 15-20 minutes
1 lb (450 g) macaroni or other short pasta
1 Tbsp butter
2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups of milk
2 Tbsp flour
1/4 tomato paste
1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 Tbsp fresh parsley
1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese (I like old for more flavour), grated
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
1) In a large quantity of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions but cook for 1 minute less. Drain in a colander.
2) In the saucepan used to cook the pasta, melt butter and brown garlic and onion for 2 minutes.
3) Mix milk and flour and pour into saucepan. Stir using a whisk and let simmer until mixture thickens.
4) Add tomato paste, oregano and parsley.
5) Gradually incorporate grated Cheddar and season.
6) Add pasta, stir with a large spoon, reheat, and serve it at once.
