Pear and Gouda Macaroni and Cheese
Pear and Gouda Macaroni and Cheese
"This is a traditional macaroni and cheese dish with some heavy twists. Instead of cheddar cheese, we are going to be using Gouda. A nice pair with Gouda cheese is pears, so we are going to bring some zing to this traditional favorite. This recipe is cooked much like a traditional mac and cheese, but with our flavor components switched out. Additionally there is a homemade breadcrumb recipe linked to that really adds some crispiness that this recipe needs."

Ingredients
- 2 Pears, cored and diced
- 4 cups shredded gouda cheese
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 2 cups Dry macaroni
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cups Bread Crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chopped rosemary
-
Preheat oven to 350
-
Core and dice pears
-
Cook macaroni as directed on package, but only cook for about 80% of the directed time - it will be finished in oven
-
While macaroni is cooking, in large saucepan melt butter on low
-
When butter is fully melted, slowly start sprinkling flour in the pan and continuously mix. The idea is that the mixture of flour and butter will form almost a paste.
-
Pour in just a little of the milk and whisk until smooth. Keep on repeating until all milk is blended in.
