Ingredients
  

  • 1 Box Gluten Free Elbow Pasta 8oz
  • 2 tbsp Oil neutral tasting; I use Avocado Oil.
  • ½ cup Butter
  • 6 tablespoon Gluten Free 1:1 Flour Mix
  • 4 cups Cheddar Cheese shredded; Best results using a block and shred yourself.
  • 8 oz Gruyere Cheese shredded
  • 3 cups Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt
Topping

Method
 

  1. Boil water in a large stockpot, then cook pasta for 2 minutes less than called for on package instructions. The pasta will continue cooking when baking in the casserole.
  2. Drain pasta , then return to the pot and toss with 2 tablespoon of oil.
  3. Shred cheeses and mix together in a large bowl.
  4. In a separate stovetop pan, melt butter on low heat then stir in gluten free flour to create a roux. Add milk and heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
  5. Add 4 cups of the cheese, stirring until sauce is thickened.
  6. Add cooked pasta and stir until combined.
  7. Lightly grease a 9x13 casserole dish and pour in half of the cheesy pasta mixture.
  8. Layer with the remaining shredded cheese, then top with the rest of the pasta mixture.
  9. In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients together, then sprinkle evenly across the top of the casserole.
  10. Bake at 350° for about 20-30 minutes until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbling.
