Description

This Ramen Noodle Mac And Cheese is a delightful fusion pasta dish combining the comforting creaminess of classic mac and cheese with the quick-cooking convenience of ramen noodles. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal, it features a smooth cheese sauce made with cheddar and mozzarella, seasoned with garlic and onion powder, and garnished with fresh chives or parsley for a fresh touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

Cheese Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish (optional)

  • Chopped chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Prepare the ramen noodles according to the package directions, omitting the seasoning packets. Once cooked, drain the noodles thoroughly and set them aside.
  2. Make the roux: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a smooth roux without browning.
  3. Prepare the cheese sauce: Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Melt the cheeses: Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until completely melted and creamy.
  5. Season the sauce: Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir to combine well.
  6. Combine noodles and sauce: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the cheese sauce and gently stir to coat the noodles evenly.
  7. Heat through: Cook the combined noodles and sauce for another minute to ensure everything is hot and well blended.
  8. Serve: Dish the ramen mac and cheese onto plates or bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the cheese sauce.
  • Enhance the dish by stirring in cooked bacon, diced ham, or steamed broccoli for extra flavor and texture.
