Key Ingredients & Their Energetic Properties:

• Gruyère Cheese: Creamy and nutty, Gruyère adds depth and a velvety texture to the sauce, enhancing the richness of the dish.
• Parmesan Cheese: A hard cheese with a savory, umami kick, Parmesan provides a salty balance to the richness of the other cheeses.
• Ghee: A clarified butter that is deeply nourishing and aids digestion. Ghee is considered the ultimate Ayurvedic fat, providing grounding and cooling properties.
• Garlic: Known for its digestive benefits and ability to promote circulation, garlic adds depth and aroma to the dish.
• Onion: Cooling and mildly sweet, onion supports digestion and enhances the savory profile of the dish.
• Cumin: Warming and earthy, cumin aids digestion, boosts metabolism, and adds a rich, aromatic flavor to the dish.
• Turmeric: A powerful anti-inflammatory spice, turmeric promotes healthy circulation and digestion. Its earthy flavor blends beautifully with the richness of the lamb and cheese.
• Ginger: Warming and stimulating, ginger aids digestion and adds a touch of spice to balance the creaminess of the cheese.
• Coriander: Cooling and balancing, coriander helps to harmonize the flavors of the dish while promoting digestion and reducing bloating.
• Cinnamon: A touch of cinnamon offers warmth and a subtle sweetness, enhancing the richness of the cheese and lamb while supporting digestion.
• Black Pepper: A warming spice that enhances the flavor of the dish and aids digestion.
• Fresh Parsley: A vibrant green herb that provides a fresh, cooling contrast to the richness of the dish, aiding in digestion and detoxification.
Method:
1. Cook the pasta: Boil the macaroni according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
2. Cook the lamb: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of ghee and sauté the ground lamb with minced garlic, diced onion, cumin, turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. Cook until the lamb is browned and fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
3. Make the cheese sauce: In a saucepan, melt ghee over medium heat. Add a pinch of cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. Stir in a tablespoon of flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually add milk, whisking to form a smooth sauce. Once thickened, stir in cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheeses, allowing them to melt into a creamy sauce.
4. Combine: In a large baking dish, mix the cooked macaroni, lamb mixture, and cheese sauce together. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the mac and cheese in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and bubbling on top.
6. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
