Notes

Flour Options

I used gfJules, which is my favorite all-purpose gluten free flour. Any type of gluten-free flour will work, or you can use 2 teaspoons cornstarch.

Pasta Options

Jovial is my favorite gluten-free pasta, it has a great texture and flavor which is very similar to wheat pasta. My second choice would be Tinkyada. Feel free to use any other type of gluten-free macaroni noodles you like :)

Milk Options

I recommend using whole milk for best results. If you decide to use skim milk, I suggest adding an extra tablespoon of butter.

Notes:

You can double, triple, or quadruple this recipe to feed a family.
