@earth2emiliaa: 🧀 Mac & cheese ingredients : • 1 butter nut squash • 3-4 garlic cloves • 2 mid sized blocks of preferred cheese (I used Gruyère and cheddar) • 14 oz pasta • chicken broth • half stick butter • around 2 table spoons flour • milk & heavy cream (as needed for desired consistency) • nutmeg & dried sage (a pinch to taste) • onion powder • garlic powder • salt & pepper Cooking instructions: 1. Roast butternut squash halves at 425°F for 40–45 minutes, or until tender. Remove garlic cloves after about 15–20 minutes to prevent burning. 2. Boil pasta in chicken broth until al dente. Reserve some cooking liquid to blend with the roasted squash and garlic until smooth. 3. Make a roux with butter and flour, add seasonings then slowly whisk in milk and heavy cream until smooth and thickened. 4. Stir in blended squash and garlic, then mix your cheese gradually until creamy. Save some cheese for layering! 5. Mix in cooked pasta and layer in baking dish or cast iron with extra cheese. Top with your buttery Parmesan-panko breadcrumb mixture. 6. Bake at 375°F for 15–20 minutes until bubbly. Broil for the last 1–3 minutes until golden and crispy. Watch closely because it browns FAST!! (sorry for lack of exact measurements 😅 I just season and taste as I go) 🍞 Bread crumb topping: • Bread crumbs • melted butter • pepper - mix together and add on top before oven 🍯 Honey garlic roasted chicken thighs: • boneless chicken thighs • 2 tbsp olive oil (approx.) • 3-4 fresh garlic cloves, minced • 2-3 tbsp honey • 1 tbsp soy sauce • 1 tbsp mustard • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika • 1/2 tsp garlic powder • 1/2 tsp onion powder • 1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning (optional) • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes • 1/2 tsp salt & pepper Measurements are approximate — season with your heart! 🤎 Cooking Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. Toss the chicken thighs with the olive oil, garlic, honey, soy sauce, mustard, and seasonings. 3. Arrange the chicken thighs in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet. 4. Roast for approximately 35–45 minutes, depending on the size of the thighs, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). 5. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. #macandcheese #recipesoftiktok #dinner #fall #butternutsquash
