* Premade, but if you have the time/patience to make your own, dont let me stop you! :P
AND FINALLY - FINALLY I GOT A FRACKING CHANCE TO COOK SOMETHING WITHOUT BEING BITCHED AT, YAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!1!!
*coughs* Anyways...this is taken from my 'bible' - Craig Clairborne's New York Times Cookbook - with a bit that I've seen from other cooking magazines!
What you need:
1 cup milk (and if you are lactose intolerant, Im sure almond milk or soy milk would work fine here)
2 tablespoons flour (or use gluten free flour / potato starch / almond flour)
2 tablespoons butter
dash of nutmeg
fresh ground pepper
And at least four other cheeses: I used Smoked Gouda (grated), Parmesan, Queso Fresco and Sharp Cheddar (these were already pre-grated)
Partly Cooked tortellini (I had cheese, but dont be afraid to experiment with other kinds folks - spinach tortellini would be great in this, as would mushroom)
Flavored panko crumbs
And ALL you have to do:
Preheat oven to 400 F
Grease your pan (I prefer Pyrex glassware) with maybe two teaspoons butter (or if you want to cut the fat down, certainly olive oil or safflower would work)
Put in precooked tortellini
In a small saucepan, get that to medium high and put in the butter, flour and milk, whisk thoroughly.
When it starts to bubble - throw in the cheese, and stir it around - and then add in the nutmeg and ground pepper.
AT MOST this will take 5 minutes, but MAKE SURE you keep an eye on it and keep it stirred, so that way it doesnt start to boil over/turn brown/curdle on you!
Then just pour over your tortellinis in the dish, and top with panko breadcrumbs - and cook in your oven for 15 - 20 minutes until slightly browned and gooey and its SO FREAKING GOOD *nom nom nom*
If need be, you can go for overkill and also top with a bit more parmesan with that panko...or BACON...
Especially, BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACOOOOOOOON! :P
*Small update: To make this a bit more Paleo-friendly, take out the panko crumbs, and you can top with toasted nuts (as long as you're not nut allergic that is :P)...toasted walnuts, hazelnuts or pine nuts would work here!
And spaghetti squash / zucchini strips would also work in this for a more paleo/vegan option as well!
Thanks to
for her tips!
