And kicking off asparagus love with this warm and comforting baked asparagus macaroni cheese recipe. Yeap, asparagus + macaroni + cheese + crunchy breadcrumbs = match made in foodie heaven.
Some of the reasons why I love this asparagus macaroni cheese:
It is easy – aka cook your asparagus along with your pasta, make your creamy cheesy sauce (oh yes please), put it together and bake. That’s it. The lush crunchy golden breadcrumb toping – totally optional but adds that extra wow factor. You can prepare it ahead of time, freeze or refrigerate it and bake it just when you need it. It has asparagus in it. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.
I make this dish a lot during asparagus season. Mostly thanks to my amazing MIL, who kindly leaves us weekly asparagus parcels outside the front door. It never fails to bring a smile to my face when I come back from a long day away to a basket full of locally grown, freshly picked asparagus. This translates to asparagus shakshuka, asparagus risotto, mushroom and asparagus pasta and of course asparagus mac and cheese.
Asparagus mac and cheese.
In the meantime, I will leave you with my rather perfectly crunchy topped asparagus macaroni cheese recipe. Please do try it and if you do make it then please do tag me on InstagramInstagram or twitter so that I can pop over and have a look. It is really really awesome for me when you make any one of my recipes. Also if you do like mac and cheese then you should check out this slow cooker mac & cheese UK recipe from My Fussy Eater. So, so good. For other comfort food recipes why not try this gluten free Fish Pie?
