This Old Fashioned Macaroni and Cheese recipe from Poole’s Diner is a Southern classic with a creamy base and crusty cheese topping. No bells and whistles, just pasta, cream and cheese. Comfort food at its BEST.
Ingredients
6 ounces dry elbow macaroni 2 cups
▢1 teaspoon vegetable oil
▢2 ounces parmesan cheese ½ cup grated
▢2 ounces gruyere cheese ½ cup grated
▢6 ounces white cheddar 1 ½ cups grated
▢2 cups heavy cream
▢1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium pot, bring 2 quarts of water and salt to a boil. Add pasta and boil until it is al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and place on a rimmed baking sheet to cool, sprinkle with vegetable oil.
Combine cheese in a bowl, reserving 60% for the top.
In a large saucepan, bring the cream and salt to a boil. Let simmer for about 2 minutes. The cream will foam and then subside. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally until it starts to thicken slightly, about 2 minutes. Add just 40% of cheese in small handfuls, stirring and waiting after each addition until completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.
