Avocado Mac N' Cheese

Ingredients

• 2 avocados
• 1/2 cup macaroni
• 1 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
• 1/2 clove minced garlic
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1/2 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch salt

• Step 1

  Start by boiling a pot of water to cook the macaroni. Cook the pasta until it is al dente, so anywhere from 8 to 10 minutes. Then drain the pasta and set it aside.

  

• Step 2

  While the pasta is cooking, place one avocado, garlic, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl and mix the ingredients together. Mash until a smooth, creamy avocado paste is created. There should be no chunks of avocado left in the bowl. Then set the avocado sauce aside.

  

• Step 3

  Now you have to make the cheese sauce. Place butter in a medium-sized pot. Once the butter is melted, whisk in flour to make a paste. Then add the shredded pepper jack cheese and milk to the pot. Stir this mixture until the sauce is smooth and the cheese is completely melted.

  

• Step 4

  Next, place the macaroni in a large bowl. Then add the avocado sauce to the pasta and mix until the noodles are completely covered. Add the cheese sauce to the avocado-covered pasta and slowly stir the final mixture until it looks creamy and even.

• Step 5

  Finally, take the second avocado and cut it into even cubes. Then garnish the pasta with the cubes. (Note: I did not garnish my mac n' cheese with avocado, so it is not featured in the pictures).
