Notes
- Shred Your Own Cheese – Packaged shredded cheese contains anti caking additives such as potato starch. Shredding your own cheese and melting it into the meal gives creamier results.
- Watch the Salt – Beef Bullion and broths can be loaded with salt. Use the salt measurement in the recipe as a guideline and adjust as needed.
- Gluten Free Pasta – Any short cut gluten free pasta such as macaroni or shells works in the recipe. I really like the Tinkyada Brand of Pasta.
- Don’t Over Cook the Pasta – Stir and check the pasta occasionally as it cooks. You want the pasta to have a little bite to it. Over cooked gluten free pasta gets mushy and falls apart.
