Ingredients
  • 2 cups dry gluten free pasta (go for a rice or brown rice pasta – even our local NON health food store carries them now)
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated (organic preferable – NOT from the green can. Get a block of cheese and grate it yourself – there are SO many additives and unnecessaries in the pre-grated)
  • 1 ½ cup cheese, shredded (organic and raw preferable – not pre shredded and dyed yellow – there are so many additives and unnecessaries in the pre-shredded and bright yellow cheese)
  • ¾ - 1 cup whole cream or whole milk depending on how creamy or thick you like it (Organic and raw preferable. Raw cream is not available where I live, but a great local farmer does carry a quality cream. Do NOT get Ultra pasteurized.)
  • ¼ cup real butter
  • Sea salt/Pepper to taste
  • About ¾ tsp turmeric for coloring yellow (optional only if you want the bright yellow!) OR a natural yellow food coloring – most health food stores will carry them
Instructions
  1. Boil noodles in water (or like I did in chicken stock for extra nourishment!) and strain.
  2. While the water comes to a boil and the noodles are cooking, warm the cream and butter in a separate pot so they aren’t ice cold when they hit the cooked noodles – just warm until they combine together. You can also shred your cheeses while the noodles are cooking.
  3. Add your cooked, strained noodles and the shredded cheeses into the pot with the warmed cream and butter and combine.
  4. Add your seasonings and, if you wish, the turmeric for color.
