GATHER & MEASURE
Ingredients
Seasoning check: The listed ¼ cup seasoned salt is unusually large. Do not add it all; start with a small amount and adjust conservatively.
FROM PREP TO FINISH
Make it, step by step
Warm the dairy
Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Butter a casserole dish large enough for the cooked pasta and cheese mixture.
Place the ground cannabis in food-grade cheesecloth and tie with cotton kitchen string. Warm it with the half-and-half over low heat for about 45 minutes without boiling. This steep does not establish activated THC or a measured infusion strength.
Remove the cheesecloth bundle. Let very hot dairy cool slightly before it meets the eggs.
Pasta & crisp topping
Boil the elbow macaroni in lightly salted water until just shy of tender, then drain. Check the package directions; about seven minutes is only a starting point.
Mix the Italian breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan and a little of the melted butter in a separate bowl. Reserve for the topping.
Mix & assemble
Combine the warm pasta, remaining cheeses, dairy and remaining melted butter. Mix in the lightly beaten eggs and vegetable oil. Add black pepper and only a small amount of seasoned salt; the cheeses are already salty.
Spoon into the buttered casserole dish. Scatter the reserved Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.
Bake, check & rest
Bake at 350°F (177°C) until the center reaches 165°F (74°C) on a food thermometer. Check the center rather than judging only by bubbling edges; dish depth and oven performance change the baking time.
Rest briefly before serving. No tested serving count or THC amount per portion is available for this recipe.
Refrigerate leftovers promptly. Clearly label infused portions and store them securely away from children and pets.
