From scratch? That sounds good. When do you add the powder and milk?

What’s your pasta recipe? What pasta maker did you use to exude the macaroni noodles?

Anything made in cast iron instantly gets +5 flavor points lol

Recipe (I honestly winged it so these measurements may not be exact.)
Ingredients:
4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp all purpose flour
1 tbsp dried minced onion
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 -1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
10oz (by weight) shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp cheddar cheese powder (optional, adds more cheese flavor and that orange color)
1 cups (ish) milk
1 cups (ish) chicken stock.
2 tbsp pickling vinegar from pickled peperoncinis
A dash of vinegar hot sauce (I used Tapatio)
1 lb dried elbow macaroni (ok, I didn’t make my own pasta, I’m not Gordon Ramsey.)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Method:
Heat cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add butter and fully melt.
Add flour (and cheese powder) and whisk into butter until til fully incorporated and pasty.
Add minced onion, garlic powder and black pepper.
Cook roux until raw flour smell is replaced by smell of garlic onion and pepper.
Add 3/4 of your shredded cheese.
Whisk in liquids gradually, alternating between milk and stock until sauce is smooth and somewhat thick, should leave a thick layer on the back of a spoon.
Add vinegar
Salt sauce to taste.
Boil pasta to al dente, strain.
Add pasta to sauce and fold to mix.
Add remaining cheese and breadcrumbs to the top along with a sprinkling of black pepper.
Broil until crumbs begin to brown and cheese is melted.
Enjoy.

Homemade food was very special but it included love and care also.
