Cowgirl Creamery’s Classic Mac & Cheese


Cowgirl Creamery, one of our favorite cheesemakers on the West Coast, is coming out with a new book, Cowgirl Creamery Cooks, and in preparation for the big release they’re handing out recipes left and right — like this gorgeous one for Classic Mac and Cheese.

This version of mac and cheese is creamy and simple, so the flavor of your the cheese you use comes through.

Some folks add parsley or other herbs before baking, as seen in this photo. Peggy and I like to make it without herbs.
