Macaroni Recipe FAQs
What is the best cheese for macaroni and cheese recipe?
The best cheese for a macaroni and cheese recipe is cheddar, because it provides bags of flavour, as well as melting smoothly in the sauce, creating a creamy and rich base for the macaroni pasta. Adding mozzarella is also a good choice for mac and cheese dishes, as it brings a moreish gooeyness, making an already hearty dish all the more satisfying.
How to store macaroni pasta?
Macaroni pasta is a great store cupboard essential to have in your pantry, as it has a pretty long shelf life. To get the most out of your macaroni pasta’s shelf life, store dry, uncooked macaroni in a cool, dry place like your pantry. If stored in an air-tight container, dry macaroni can last for up to a year.
What is the difference between macaroni and pasta?
Macaroni is a category of pasta. Technically, 'macaroni' is a general word to categorise small and medium dried-pasta shapes, but the name has become synonymous with elbow macaroni; the small, curved, tubular-shaped pastas we know most often from mac and cheese recipes.
Can you freeze macaroni and cheese?
Yes. Freezing cooked macaroni and cheese is a great way to cut down on your food waste. Cooked mac and cheese will last in the freezer for up to three months. Remember to thaw thoroughly in the fridge before reheating.
How to prevent macaroni from going mushy?
To prevent macaroni from becoming mushy, we recommend cooking it until it is just al dente, which means it will be still slightly firm to the bite. To achieve this, boil your macaroni pasta for around 10-12 minutes. After draining, immediately rinse the macaroni under cold water to stop the cooking process and maintain its firmness.
