Chef's Notes
Do not buy pre-shredded cheese! Those commercial bags are coated in cellulose and anti-caking magic powders that ruin the silky melt of your sauce. Grate your own blocks of cheese like a true artisan.
Pro Tip
Infuse your milk with a smashed garlic clove and a bay leaf while warming it up for a subtle, aristocratic depth of flavor before making your roux.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You crank the heat up to high while adding the milk, get distracted by a text message, and instantly scorch the bottom of your pot. Suddenly your gourmet smoked mac and cheese tastes like a campfire accident.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the court chef if this dish was healthy, and he replied that it contains at least three different food groups: cheese, more cheese, and pasta-covered cheese.
The Culinary Science
Starch molecules from the macaroni leach into the boiling water, but retaining a bit of that pasta water and using real dairy proteins creates an emulsified matrix that prevents your cheese sauce from breaking into a greasy oil slick.
