Steps to make Green Mac and Cheese:
Prepare all ingredients
Cook the macaroni in simmering water with vegetable oil and salt until al dente (you can chew it but not 100% cooked so you won’t have overcooked macaroni on your plate later). Strain the macaroni
Throw all of your green paste ingredients into food processor
Make sure you have a smooth looking paste. Do not worry over the smell. It’ll taste good I promise
Melt the butter on a pan to start working on the cheese sauce
Pour in the half-and-half and add add the flour before the mixture start to simmer. Your mixture will start to thicken so mix it well with a whisker
Add 4 tablespoonful of the green paste and mix well. Add salt, pepper, and basil. Don’t forget to taste
Add the macaroni and then gently fold it in
I cut my cheese into boxes (just because I hate washing cheese shredder) then add them to the pan. Fold them in gently
There you have it! Your green mac and cheese. I love to add a pice of butter to my plate of pasta for some extra richness
Feel free to add some cheese or both cheese and cream over your mac and cheese in a butter-lined baking dish and continue cooking it in 180 degrees Celcius oven for 10 minutes
