Gluten Free Recipes: Skillet Mac N Cheese

August 11, 2015

No boil cheesy gluten free macaroni goodness.

Having trouble cooking your gluten free pasta correctly? Does it turn to mush before you pull it out of the water? Does it stick together and form a large gooey mass? Skillet cooking to the rescue. One pan, no mush, easy to do.Â

Adding the water and other ingredients together in a skillet with the pasta allows the pasta to absorb the liquid and cook at the same time. No more mush, gooey messes, or gloppy noodles.

Try it!
