What is Gramaroni???? This is the name my eldest granson, Tristen, who turned 15 this weekend gave to my homemade mac and cheese. He was around 3 at the time and he wanted some mac and cheese. I used to buy Annie's brand for him when he came over but we didn't have any. I told him that I could make him some myself and now all the grandkids ask for it when they come over.
It is very EASY to make and can have several variations to suit your own tastes.
Start by cooking your favorite pasta...we used Sprial Veggie this time.
While it is cooking make a simple white sauce and add your favorite cheese.
When the pasta is done, drain and add the sauce!
Cheese sauce.....Melt 2 Tablespoons butter in sauce pan. Add enough flour to make a paste while stirring. Then pour in about 3/4 cup milk and stir til thickened. Remove from heat and add grated cheese. All the measurements are approximate as I don't measure and just make as much as needed at the time. If you have more than needed it keeps for a few days in the fridge and is always good over brocolli or other veggie. I have also used it over eggs at breakfast
This is Sebastian, Tristen's 11 year old brother enjoying his Gramaroni yesterday for lunch.
