soba ‘n cheese.

I’ve been busy watching a clip of my husband getting jiggy in an elf suit.  It’s too bad I can’t put up the link here (I already got in trouble once today), but I would be more than happy to send it to anyone who wants to see it.  It will make your day, I promise.

Anyway, here’s a healthier alternative to mac ‘n cheese - made with soba.

SOBA ‘N CHEESE CUPS.

Ingredients: (6 cups)

1 bundle boiled soba
1 tbs butter
¼ cup flour
1.5 cup soy milk
2 tbs any soft cheese made with raw sheep’s milk
2/3 cup Pecorino Romano, grated
½ cup sharp cheddar, grated
Garlic salt & fresh pepper to taste
¼ cup cilantro leaves

Pre-heat oven to 350F.  Break the soba noodles in half before boiling.  In a separate saucepan, bring the butter and soy milk to a simmer.  Slowly add the flour, making sure to stir continuously to avoid lumps.  Keep heat on low to medium.  Add soft cheese; stir until it melts.  Add the remaining grated cheese, and keep stirring until the sauce has a thick, smooth consistency.  Remove from heat, adjust flavor with garlic salt and fresh pepper.  Toss with soba and cilantro, and pour mixture into well-greased muffin pans.  Bake for 20 min or until tops are golden brown.
