Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup flour
- Salt
- 4 cups whole milk
- 3/4 pound macaroni (elbows, small shells, etc)
- 4 cups shredded cheddar
- 1 pre-made thin pizza crust
- Dried oregano for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Toss tomatoes with olive oil and roast for 10 minutes until soft and blistered. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until flour is slightly brown, about 3-5 minutes
- Pour in milk, whisking constantly until mixture is smooth. Stir until boiling and then reduce heat to low. Simmer until mixture thickens a little, about 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta until al dente, drain and return to pot. Remove sauce from heat, whisk in cheese and stir until cheese is melted. Add pasta and stir to coat. Cool for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Ladle a generous amount of mac and cheese over the pizza crust (you won’t use all of it, meaning you will have leftover mac and cheese, meaning you will be SO happy later in the week!). Scatter the roasted tomatoes on top, and shake on some oregano.
- Bake for 5-10 minutes, remove from oven, cut into wedges with pizza cutter and serve!
