Gluten Free Bacon Macaroni and Cheese |
I used a brown rice elbow pasta, which I watched closely so it was cooked to perfection. If you cook brown rice pasta too long it turns to mush, so you don't want to leave this unattended for too long. If cooked just right, you won't even tell the difference in this dish from semolina pasta. I actually found a great gluten free bread crumb mix that had Parmesan cheese in it and Italian seasonings, and it was the perfect topping to this Gluten Free Bacon Macaroni and Cheese. If you can't find a gluten free seasoned bread crumb, just make your own by toasting a piece of gluten free bread really well, then grind it to crumbs in a food processor and mix with Italian seasoning, salt and if you wish, some grated Parmesan cheese.
