Ingredients for Mac And Cheese Recipe
Macaroni
Macaroni is a type of dry pasta that is shaped like narrow tubes. Made from durum wheat, macaroni is typically cut in short lengths; curved macaroni is known as elbow macaroni. Some home machines can make macaroni shapes, but macaroni is typically made commercially by large-scale extrusion, as is most pasta.
Garlic
Garlic has a distinct, pungent flavour that, when raw, borders on spicy and, when cooked, borders on nutty. Sulfur compounds, such as diallyl disulfide, contribute to the mustard-like flavour profile. It loses its acrid raw flavour when dried and crushed into garlic powder, making it ideal for seasoning dishes.
Grated Cheese
Grated cheese is cheese that has been reduced in size by rubbing it on a grater. Shredded cheese, on the other hand, is cheese that has been cut into shreds or thin strips.
