Monster Mac and Cheese
This Monster Mac and Cheese is beautifully green without any food coloring. The secret ingredient is spinach, which adds a beautiful, ghoulish green color and some veggies! Great for after a night of trick or treating!
Ingredients
- 1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked to al dente
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 Tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup white American cheese
- 3 cups white cheddar cheese
- 2/3 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the spinach with 1 cup of the milk. (You may need to add the spinach in batches). Blend until smooth, but do not over blend or it will lose the bright green coloring.
- In a pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour in the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, and spinach mixture.
- Slowly add in all of the cheeses, stirring until melted.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked pasta, and serve!
Notes
If making in advance, keep the cooked pasta and sauce separate. When ready to serve, heat both and combine.
