Ingredients:
- 200g of Roma Elbows
- 1 ½ cup of grated cheese
- ½ cup of unsalted butter
- ¼ cup of flour
- 1 ½ cup of milk
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 egg yolk, whisked
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
Preparation:
- Cook the pasta following the instructions on the package and set aside.
- In a pot, melt the butter at low heat and add the garlic. Then add the flour and milk, and stir constantly for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper. Next, add the cheese little by little, while stirring, until it’s all melted. Turn off the heat and add the egg yolk.
- Mix the sauce with the pasta while preheating the oven at 180°C.
- Take little bits of the pasta and cheese mix, and round them into little balls before coating them well with breadcrumbs.
- Place them on an oven tray and bake until brown (around 10 minutes).
- Take them out of the oven and let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes so they don’t break down. Serve them with tomato sauce or any other sauce you like.
