Recipe | Mac + Cheese with Brie, Manchego, and Mushrooms
my favorite food groups, if not my all-time favorite. I can munch on almost any
variety and I frequently find myself finishing off a block. All by myself.
Cheese satisfies a desire to experience something hearty and simple. Complex
yet uncomplicated. Something gooey, creamy and salty. I first tasted Manchego
cheese at a friend’s 30th birthday celebration. The theme of the
evening was a wheel of Manchego cheese. We paired the Manchego with figs,
freshly baked baguettes, honey, roasted walnuts, grapes, and wine. The menu was
divine, and we spent hours talking about the rich, nutty, textural wheel of
Manchego.
When cheese is paired with
the simplest of ingredients, a dish can be elevated from ordinary to luxurious.
The recipe I’m sharing today is one of those dishes. Macaroni and cheese from a
box is one of the easiest meals to prepare. Kids everywhere love it, but it lacks depth of flavor. Making
macaroni and cheese from scratch requires a bit more time and effort but
promises an incredibly rich reward. With the addition of real cheese (namely, President Brie and Manchego), white wine, and mushrooms, this recipe
does not disappoint. It’s creamy, cheesy, and you won’t be able to stop eating
it! Serve it with roasted veggies or a salad and you have a meal!

Woah…I've never had mac and cheese this way before, but my goodness this looks delicious and so yummy, walnut topping? So basically this is like a cheese plate melted and wraped around delicious pasta!? I think I may have to give this a go for my house soon.
