Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese is a delicious twist on the classic comfort food that is sure to satisfy your cheese cravings. The smoky flavor of the gouda pairs perfectly with the creamy, rich sauce, making this dish a true delight for the taste buds.
Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta, and cook for the recommended time.
While your pasta is cooking, add your butter to a saucepot over medium heat.
Once melted add your flour and whisk for 2-3 minutes or until you smell a light sightly nutty aroma coming from your pan.
Next, you will add about ½ cup of the milk while whisking quickly. Once thickened, add your remaining milk and whisk again until smooth
Your smoked gouda is up next, and we will also add about ½ of the cheese and mix until incorporated, and then the other ½.
Once it's smooth, add your heavy cream and sour cream, kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper to taste.
When your pasta is done, add it to your cheese sauce and mix. I like to add slowly so if I've made too much pasta I don't throw off my sauce to noodle ratio.
