Cook it to al dente while you make the white cheddar cheese sauceīutter.

Remember to salt your pasta water well in a large pot of water, it should taste 'like the ocean' before dropping in the shells. This type of pasta holds a ton of cheese sauce because it cups around itself, leaving a big spoon area for cheese to sit in. Here's what you need to make this copycat recipe: Ingredients Making mac and cheese is very simple: make a cheese sauce, boil pasta, mix it together. And of course a bunch of other stuff most people just aren't going to have or use because it's a mass made product. On Panera's website the ingredient list for their mac broken down in laymen's terms is pasta, pasteurized processed cheese, milk and heavy cream, cheese sauce, salt, and flour. And the best part is that it taste just like the real thing but made in your own kitchen! How to Make Panera Bread Mac and Cheese It makes really creamy white cheddar macaroni and cheese in a short amount of time, it's one of my favorite side dishes that my whole family loves (or is a kid-friendly main dish) and it's comfort food that can be enjoyed year round. Since I love making copycat recipes, here's this dead ringer for panera's mac and cheese. I like to serve it with a delicious homemade sandwich, but you can add it to any of your favorite meals.They've now got their baja mac and that delicious broccoli cheddar mac (which is based on their yummy Broccoli Cheddar Soup) but the classic Vermont White Cheddar Mac will always have a soft spot in my heart. The recipe below yields enough mac and cheese to make 10 servings as a side dish or 4 or 5 servings as a lunch. The creaminess comes from the American cheese, which melts well and gives the dish that smooth thickness we love. You don’t need a lot, but it helps to bring out the richness of the cheeses and helps blend the flavors of the sauce nicely. The secret to this recipe is in the Dijon mustard. I love the convenience of being able to prepare their favorite dish without sacrificing any of the full creamy flavors this Mac and Cheese offers. Because this is one of my kids’ very favorite side dishes, I prefer to make this dish at home, rather than running out to Panera Bread every week. Whereas boxed mac and cheese barely comes with enough cheese to coat the pasta, Panera Bread’s recipe is dripping with melted creamy cheeses. Panera Bread’s Mac and Cheese doesn’t even compare to the boxed version.
