Cooking duration: 10 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter

6 oz freshly grated cheddar cheese

1 egg, beaten

6 oz evaporated milk

Hot sauce, to taste

8oz macaroni, or any smallish tube shaped pasta

1 teaspoon dry mustard powder

¼ teaspoon red pepper

Salt and pepper

Equipment:

bowl

pot

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Boil the pasta according to package directions, but reduce the cooking time by one minute.Grate the cheese while you wait.When the pasta has boiled sufficiently, drain and pour back into the pot.Over medium-low heat, add the butter and stir until melted. Here is my first change to the recipe. I doubled the recipe since there is seven of us, and so I added a bit more butter than it called for (even doubled) to make sure that every noodle had some butter. Total I think I used about 3-4 Tbs.Next, in a separate bowl, mix the egg, the evaporated milk, the dry mustard and the red pepper. It need to be mixed a lot better than this photo, which is way too lumpy and not blended yet.When you have finished mixing it all, pour the entire bowl over the pasta. Stir until it begins to thicken, about three to five minutes.Remove the pan from the heat then add the cheese in four installments, making sure the first is melted completely before adding the next. Believe it or not, this actually helps with the creaminess. I did wind up adding a splash of milk at the end to get just a little more creaminess at the end. You can do this or you can skip it.Serve immediately

Food Trivia

The banana tree is not a true fruit at all but a giant herb and the banana is actually its berry. A banana plant produces only one bunch or hand in its life, but that bunch may have between 100 to 400 bananas. Despite its phallic shape, the banana is sterile and no fertilization takes place in the banana flowers. A banana plant grows when one of its shoots is planted.
