How to Add Romano Cheese for Italian Macaroni & Cheese

Video Transcript

"Hi, I am Elvis Hillard and I am here on behalf of Expert Village. Today we are going to be making Italian style Macaroni and cheese. Alright, well we have got out pasta in here. Like I said keep it on a medium heat, because that pasta will stick on the bottom. So, you want to keep on stirring this up. What we had talked about earlier, when we were boiling that water. You had salt in it, use the pasta and then use that for a starch, like a flavoring aspect. So, just go ahead and pour in some of that pasta water. You are going to hear it. It is going to stop sizzling, which is good. Because, your not sitting there continuously burning up your pasta. So, we have got our water in there. The reserve. Get the heat up. Let it start coming back up to a simmer. Because whenever you add that water to it, whats going to happen to it, it's going to drop down your temperature. So it's not going to be simmering anymore. Just give it a minute. Stir it up while all your is like loose and feeling free again before you start putting your cheese into it. That's going to be the next thing that we do. You are going to start seeing all that steam coming up. That's what we are going to work on, when it starts getting hot enough. I am using Romano. There is also additional things you can use too. You can use mozzarella. Mascarpone is really great to use for it. If your just like a cheese nut, go ahead, you can throw four or five different cheeses in it. Italian's love their cheese and it's great cheese. But try to use fresh cheese if you can use it. If you don't have the money for it, go ahead and use what you got. But, we are getting to that point now. So were just going to just go ahead and were going to take that cheese and start putting it all on the top here. This is I use like a cup. A cup of this Romano. You can spread it out on top. So that steam when it starts coming up, it's going start melting down that cheese. Then, you can keep on folding it over and incorporate like all that stuff together. Let it set for a second. Take all that garlic and everything off the sides. Make sure your like even with it. That's basically what your looking at right there. Let it cook for about 2 or 3 minutes. Till you start seeing that cheese drop down. Then you can start folding it over. "
