Posted on August 4, 2023August 4, 2023 By Admin No Comments on Pesto Havarti Macaroni

This Pesto Mac and Cheese is creamy, savoury, quick to prepare, and really wonderful! The combination of basil pesto and cheese pasta is a nightly dream!

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni (or any pasta shape of your choice)
  • 1 cup basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup shredded Havarti cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: extra shredded Havarti, cherry tomatoes, or fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat, but do not bring it to a boil.
  3. Add the shredded Havarti cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the cream, stirring constantly until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
  4. Stir in the basil pesto, and continue to heat the sauce until everything is well combined and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the cooked macaroni to the sauce, tossing until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy pesto Havarti sauce.
  6. Serve hot, and if desired, sprinkle some extra shredded Havarti, cherry tomatoes, or fresh basil leaves on top.
