Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese made in one pot in less than 30 minutes. Gooey and creamy macaroni and cheese with prosciutto tossed in makes the best dinner ever.
(Gluten-Free, Dairy-free friendly)
I survived on gluten free macaroni and cheese while in Ireland. It somehow became our go-to meal and also turned into the dinner we made after a long day hiking in the mountains.
We had made a conscious decision to stay in places with full kitchens while on holiday. That way, we didn’t have to deal with eating out all the time and worry about what to eat for every meal.
It was seriously the best decision ever and we’ll travel this way from now on. As we moved from location to location, at the end of each stay we had to clear out the fridge and use all our leftovers.
This Prosciutto Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese was the product of what was left in our fridge the first time. // Seriously. Get in my belly.
It was so good, sparing no calories (I did just climb two mountain peaks that day) with all that butter, cheese and delicate salty prosciutto.
Sprinkled with some crushed fresh black pepper before serving, it was THE PERFECT dish to warm me up.
Freezing Scotland, you are freezing! // This says a lot from a girl living in the Midwest.
It also fueled me with badly needed calories (since I had not eaten the entire day). // Extreme poor planning and didn’t make that mistake again.
Last time I was in Ireland, I survived on prosciutto. Specifically, these prosciutto-wrapped-in-melon bites.
Something about Ireland and craving prosciutto while I’m there every time?? If we end up moving there down the road, be prepared.
Best Tips for this Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese
Don’t forget to thoroughly rinse pasta after cooking to keep it from over-cooking AND to remove the excess starch. That’s the best way to prepare gluten-free pasta.
For those needing vegetarian (because really I do understand), simply omit the prosciutto from this recipe, it’ll still be amazing.
I struggle with eating meat at times (mainly chicken breasts), but I don’t have any problem eating things like deli meat, prosciutto, salami, sausage, etc. I love it all. // So odd I know.
During an extended vacation away from home, 99.9% of the time I get “glutened” at some point. Then I need to come home, slash dairy out of my diet, and recover.
Guys, I may have made history because this time that was not the case. Actually, this was the first time EVER I’ve come home and felt awesome! //Except for the fact that I’ve been waking up at 5 a.m., craving potato chips instead of breakfast food. But that’s another problem entirely.
I take comfort in knowing that this gluten free mac and cheese can easily be made dairy-free, and it tastes just as amazing with that swap. // I mean, you know me, I love the real butter and cheese when I can eat it, so not being glutened, I’m eating the reallll thing. 😉
However you make it, just know that this one-pot easy gluten free macaroni and cheese will become a family staple, whether you are on vacation climbing mountains or just chilling out at home.
Making gluten free mac n cheese has just gotten too easy. You are welcome. 🙂

Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese made in one pot in less than 30 minutes. Gooey and creamy macaroni and cheese with prosciutto tossed in makes the best dinner ever. Even better? This dish can easily be made dairy-free and vegetarian.
Gluten free mac and cheese can and should taste just as good as the other stuff. We think you'll love these. If you love Kraft Mac and Cheese but you always wish the cheese sauce tasted a little bit more like actual cheese, Annie's Gluten Free mac and cheese is the way to go.
For a mac and cheese recipe, consider the combination of sharper cheddar cheeses and a flavorful Parmesan. This cheese adds a boost of fruity, nutty notes to your favorite macaroni recipes. Parmesan is also ideal for grating on top of mac and cheese before you bake it to add golden color.
Kraft (the company that makes Velveeta) has a trusted policy to disclose any allergens on their nutrition label and there are no warning that indicate that Velveeta cheese contains any gluten ingredients. Furthermore, the gluten-free and celiac community is in agreement that Velveeta should be considered gluten-free.
Try adding a little more salt first, because that might fix it. If the problem was the cheese you use doesn't have much flavor, then try adding some other flavors, such has mustard or hot sauce.
Unlike other gluten-free recipes, you don't need to substitute the wheat flour used in roux with several gluten-free flours. Sweet rice flour, ground from glutinous rice, makes a velvety gluten-free roux and nicely replaces wheat flour measure for measure. Classically roux uses clarified butter as its fat.
Whether making it from scratch or the box, sour cream is the secret ingredient to rich and creamy macaroni and cheese. This tart and tangy additive goes a long way regarding recipes, and just a dollop can transform any dish into a thick and creamy masterpiece.
And great pasta begins with water that's been heavily salted. We're talking ocean water levels of salt. Not adding salt to your water leads to bland, tasteless noodles. This, in turn, leads to a finished product that is flavorless even after adding the cheese sauce.
Great mac n' cheese needs one or more cheeses that melt well, and one or more cheeses that bring the flavor. The best melters include monterey jack, fontina, baby swiss, asiago, provolone, mozzarella, and alpine-style. Cheeses for flavor: cheddar, havarti, smoked gouda, gorgonzola, feta and any other of your favorites.
Gordon Ramsay's mac and cheese is a simplified recipe. Just boil pasta in milk and then, add butter, cheese, salt, and pepper to it. Merge all the elements and Gordon Ramsay's mac and cheese will be ready in no time.
I think sour cream is a great substitute!However, it may change the flavor just slightly. For sour cream, mix it in just like I outlined in the cream cheese example, but with far less or no extra liquid. Sour cream is slightly sour (duh), so this may impact the final flavor a bit.
Gordon Ramsay's mac and cheese is a simplified recipe. Just boil pasta in milk and then, add butter, cheese, salt, and pepper to it. Merge all the elements and Gordon Ramsay's mac and cheese will be ready in no time.
Ramsay's recipe calls for Romano cheese with Pepperberry, Asiago cheese, thick slices of country bread, and kimchi. Some standard butter, olive oil, and salt are also in the mix. I went to my local grocery store, Foodtown, to see if I could find the slightly upscale ingredients. I had to purchase a few alternatives.
