The Best Baked Mac and Cheese Recipe made with gluten-free ingredients. Such an easy mess-free mac and cheese to make that takes 5 minutes to prep.
OMG MAC AND CHEEEEESEEEEE!!! This is the ultimate mac and cheese guys.
First of all there is NO boiling water involved. It is a dream. You toss all of the ingredients into a baking dish and add it into the oven. No boiling water, no dirtying a ton of pots and pans – no nada!! It is a dream come true and I don’t think there is a such thing as a “healthy” mac and cheese. But this recipe is super simple and made with only 4 ingredients. And I used gluten-free pasta which works so well.
Let me know if you make this recipe. I cannot wait to hear what you think!!
What ingredients you need to make gluten-free mac and cheese pasta bake:
- Gluten-free pasta of choice
- Milk of choice (I used full-fat coconut milk)
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
- Seasonings of choice
How to make baked mac and cheese in the oven:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and take out an 9×13 baking dish
- Add the pasta into the baking dish then pour the milk on top followed by 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese and butter then mix
- Cover with foil then put in oven to bake for 45 minutes
- Remove from heat and spread the additional 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top and bake in oven for another 15 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbly
- Serve while warm

Do you think original almond milk would work or would I need to add a little flour for it to thicken?
Rachel
i think it would be ok!!!
Cg
Would the milk to pasta ratio be the same when not using gluten free pasta?
Rachel
yes!!!
Sam
Do you think I can make this and reheat it in the oven later and it will taste the same? Trying to meal prep for the holidays!
