Michael makes a birthday meal for his daugher. Macaroni and Cheese with Tuna
Recipe after the break
Ingredients:
1 lb pasta ( I used shells but large elbow work just as well)
1 lb sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 stick butter ( 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup flour
1 tbs worchesteshire sauce
1 large can albacore tuna
4 cups milk
Preheat oven to 350°
Bring large pot of water to boil for pasta
Cook pasta to package directions
Meanwhile, while pasta is cooking, heat butter in medium saucepan. When butter is melted, add flour. Heat for about 1 minute to get rid of the flour taste. Add worchesteshire. Slowly whisk in milk. Stir until sauce is thickened. add tuna and cheese.
When pasta is done, drain and return to pot. Stir in cheese sauce and mix in well. Transfer to a baking pan and put in the oven until bubbly. (around 20 minutes)

One thought on “Cooking With Butler 3 – Fleetwood MACaroni and Cheese w/Tuna”
love the Cooking With Butler episodes. while watching this Fleetwood MACaroni and Cheese episode, i was reminded of my ex-husband, the Swiss chef. like you, Michael, he could transform any ordinary dish into a gourmet delight by using simple techniques (such as making a roux) and adding surprise ingredients (like the Dijon mustard). however, he did hesitate to combine fish with cheese. he thought that to be a unsavory combination.
your cookware even reminds me of his… do you have Kuhn Rikon? yours looks a lot like his cookware. Kuhn Rikon is expensive but worth every cent… it is durable, heats evenly and well and is beautiful so it can go from stove to table.
