Low FODMAP and GF Mac ‘n Cheese

We’ve made another family favourite low FODMAP and gluten-free so everyone can enjoy it.

A perfect mid-week winter warmer. Serve with a simple side salad, or green beans and almonds.

Ingredients:

For the Cheese Sauce:

1 litre lactose-free milk

80g cornflour

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tbsp butter

salt and pepper

120g cheddar (grated)

40g parmesan (grated) - reserve 20g to grate on top

Pasta :

4 cups of cooked cluten-free macaroni or penne (about 2/3 of a 350g pack dry weight)

Method:

White sauce:

Whisk together the cold lactose-free milk, corn-flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a large sucepan with the heat turned off until you have no lumps.

Add the knob of butter (if using) and then heat the mixture gently and continue whisking continuously until the sauce is thickened and bubbling.

Remove from heat, add the grated cheddar cheese and half the parmigiano reggiano and whisk again.

Pasta:

Cook as per pack instructions - but subtract 1 minute of cooking time. Drain.

Combine sauce and pasta in a serving dish.

Grate over the remaining parmesan.
