Macaroni and Cheese - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Cheddar is classic, but you can experiment with Gruyère, Monterey Jack, or even a mix for extra flavor. Avoid pre-shredded cheese as it doesn’t melt as smoothly.
Substitute the wheat flour with gluten-free flour or cornstarch, and use gluten-free pasta. Ensure all other ingredients, like butter and cheese, are gluten-free certified.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
Yes, but the texture may change slightly. Freeze in portions for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat with extra milk or cheese to refresh.
Use low-carb pasta alternatives like cauliflower florets or shirataki noodles. Reduce flour or replace it with a low-carb thickener like xanthan gum.
Try spices like paprika, mustard powder, or a pinch of cayenne. Mix-ins like cooked bacon, sautéed onions, or breadcrumbs add great texture and taste.
Yes! Use plant-based butter, cheese, and milk (like almond or oat milk). Nutritional yeast can add a cheesy flavor if needed.
Use freshly grated cheese (not pre-shredded) and avoid overheating the sauce. Remove the pan from heat before adding cheese for smoother melting.
