Ingredients:

  • 2 cups milk or 1 cup milk, 1 cup cream
  • 2 tablespoons cannabutter (you can also experiment with 3-4 tbs)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 10 oz block extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (you can also do a mix of half cheddar, half gruyere)
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1⁄2 package elbow macaroni, cooked (you can also use the full package to make a larger batch). Pasta shells are also fine.
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper
  • Parsley for topping

Directions:

  1. Melt the butter & add flour and cook for a few minutes. Add the aromatics (garlic, bay leaf, rosemary) and add the milk/cream & stir until thick. Once thickened, remove the aromatics.
  2. Add roughly 1/2 the cheese & whisk until smooth, and add the mustard powder. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add the pasta (cooked 1 minute shy of done) and stir until combined.
  4. Grease an 8” pan with butter and coat with parmesan cheese.
  5. Add 1/2 of the pasta & layer with remaining cheese, alternating so you finish the top with the remaining cheese.
  6. Bake in a 350 oven for about 15 mins, then broil until bubbly & golden brown.
  7. Top with fresh parsley right out of the oven.
  8. Ask your local budtender / pharmacist for recommendations on the best products to cook with! We are always happy to give you the low down for your kitchen experiments.
