One Pan Sage & White Cheddar Mac n Cheese

Toast regular or panko breadcrumbs and set aside. In a skillet, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Add in shallot & cook for about 2 min and then add in fresh sage. Once sage starts to get crispy, remove it and set aside. Add garlic. Cook until fragrant. Season with salt. Add in pasta and stir to coat. Add chicken broth 1/2 cup at a time and cook over medium heat. Stir until most of the liquid is evaporated and then add more chicken broth. Repeat until pasta is al dente. There should always be some liquid left in the pan so that the pasta cooks! Reduce heat to low and stir in white cheddar until fully melted. Season to taste with salt. Stir in cream. Grate manchego over everything. If you’d like, add a big scoop of yogurt and mix it in. Crush your cooked sage leaves and add them to the toasted panko and garnish the mac. Add fresh cracked black pepper. Enjoy!
