Homemade Grain-free "Macaroni" and Cheese - recipe

Cheese Sauce:

Shred:
8 ounces cheddar
6 ounces mozzarella
4 ounces feta
4 ounces parmesan
3 ounces asiago
3 ounces romano
4 ounces Jack


Mix until smooth
1/3 cup starch mixture (mixture is made of equal amounts sweet potato starch, potato starch, and tapioca starches)
1/3 cup chickpea flour (besan flour)
1 teaspoon dried mustard (powder)
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
and 1 1/2 cups water


Mix starch/flour mixture into 6 cups cold milk.  Put in HEAVY bottom pan and turn stove to medium low.  Slowly heat, stirring constantly.  Once see steam rising, start dropping in small handfuls of shredded cheese every couple minutes until all cheese added.  DO NOT LET BOIL.  Simmer at most until slightly thickened and cheese is melted into sauce.

If gritty or clumpy, blend with hand blender.


In large pot, bring salted water to boil.  Boil 2 sleeves Sweet Potato Noodles (these are the ones I use:  Rhee Bros Sweet Potato Noodles) for 10-12 minutes.  Drain.  Rinse with cold water.

Dump noodles into glass casserole dish.  Cover with cheese sauce and stir sauce through noodles until all is covered.  Need to be sure have some extra sauce over the noodles as the noodles suck up the liquid.  I save rest of sauce in fridge until next time I need cheese sauce (broccoli, baked taters, mashed taters etc.)

Bake in over at 350 for 1 hour or more until browned on top and bubbly.
