Avocado Mac and Cheese


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 300g (10oz) macaroni
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 lime
  • 200g (7oz) avocado flesh, about 2 avocados
  • 30g (1 oz) fresh coriander leaves
  • 1.25ml (1/4 tsp) salt
  • 90ml (3fl oz) almond milk
  • 120g (4oz) grated mozzarella [optional]
  • 90g (3oz) grated cheddar [optional]
  • 30g (1oz) breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Cook macaroni until al dente according to the instructions on the package. Drain and set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 370ºF/190ºC/gas mark 5.
  3. Place the garlic, lime, avo, salt, coriander and milk in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  4. Place the macaroni and avocado mixture in an ovenproof dish and stir until thoroughly mixed. [If you’re vegan you can now simply eat this hot or cold. Or, use substitutes for the next steps.]
  5. Mix the mozzarella, cheddar and breadcrumbs in a bowl and sprinkle on top of the pasta.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until browned, crispy and the cheese has melted.

Notes

  • If you are vegan, omit the cheese and baking in the oven in the end. Alternatively, there are cheese and vegan-safe breadcrumbs that can be substituted for traditional versions.
  • If you're having trouble getting avocado, try one of these avocado substitutes.
  • You don't have to stick with cheddar cheese if you don't want to, check out this list of cheeses for ideas!
