Pasta al formaggio (Mac & Cheese): lo chef Paolo Lopriore riscrive la ricetta americana

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

fontina cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella is lower in fat, while cheddar is often more accessible.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat alternative.

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk to create a roux.

Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Cook the mixture until it thickens, then add the cheddar cheese and stir until melted and smooth.

Combine the cheese sauce with the cooked pasta and mix well.
