| Dressy Pasta Risotto |
To make this French Mac 'n' Cheese begin by melting some butter in a large skillet. Once the butter has melted add some chopped onion with some salt and pepper. When the onion is soft add some chicken broth (or you can use some chicken bouillon) and some pasta. Cook the pasta until it has absorbed most of the chicken broth. Add some heavy cream and cook for 3 minutes. Next add some Parmesan and mascarpone. Cook for 1 minute and remove from the heat. Let the pasta sit for 3 minutes before serving.
I made this dish for a light dinner and it was a hit. The pasta absorbed the flavor of the broth and the cheese sauce was very flavorful. I may not have reduced the chicken broth enough during cooking. My sauce was a little thin but good.
Glad you enjoyed this one, Geri! This was a hit in my house, too! Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteSo simple, easy and delicious, glad you enjoyed it too. I will definitely be repeating this recipe. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed this! We loved it. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMy sauce was a little thin after simmering with the cream for the suggested time, so I almost let it go for an extra five minutes over what the recipe suggested. It's a repeat for me!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Geraldine! Glad you enjoyed this dish. Even my fussy family ate it.
ReplyDeleteWe loved this, too...think it was a winner no matter how thick the sauce was! Happy New Year, Geri!
ReplyDeleteLooks like its everyone's favorite and a great start for a new year at FFwD! Yours is DELISH! Will be making this again!
ReplyDeleteI drained some of the fluid off my pasta before I added the cheese, Geri. I think next time I will cut back on the broth a bit. We loved this one and I'm glad you did too.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to eat it as a meal. I served it as a side, but wanted to eat much more. You solved that problem. Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteCan you believe I almost messed this up by getting a 2nd pot out to cook the broth ? Yes, I need to read my recipes more thoroughly :) I found the error of my ways and it came off without a hitch - being loved by the whole family. And I made it again tonight, per their request. Yay !
