Ingredients
- 8 oz. gluten-free corn/rice blend elbow pasta
- 1-1/2 cups 2% milk
- 1 cup water
- 5 oz. smoked Gouda cheese shredded
- 3 oz. sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 tsp. ground mustard seed
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- Fresh-ground pepper to taste, if desired
Instructions
-
In medium-large pot over medium-high heat, combine pasta, milk, water, ground mustard seed, paprika and salt. Stir often while it comes to boil.
-
When mixture begins to boil, turn heat down to maintain slow boil and stir very frequently, every 20-30 seconds or so. Cook until pasta is al-dente, about 5-1/2 minutes, and most liquid is absorbed. (Note: Cooking time will vary based on size of pasta you use, keep a close eye on it so you don’t overcook.)
-
Remove from heat and fold in shredded gouda and cheddar cheese until melted and thoroughly incorporated.
-
Serve immediately. Grind on fresh black pepper, if desired.
Notes
rice. Different brands of pasta may absorb the cooking liquid differently. If your pasta
absorbed most of the liquid, you may need to add 1-2 Tbsp. of additional milk when
folding in the cheese.
