Macaroni and Cheese
This morning as I rose from the snuggly warmth of my bed I heard the crunch rustle rustle crunch of leaves outside of my window. It was then that I knew that the time has come to pull out the knee high socks. Knee high socks mean fall has arrived and so has the warm food of cozy comfort. It is time for macaroni and cheese.
- 2 Cups of Curly Pasta
- 2 Tablespoons of flour
- 2 Tablespoons of Butter
- 1 Cup of Milk (I use Soy)
- 1/2 Cup shredded Parmesan
- 1/4 Blue Cheese
- 1 Cup Cheddar shredded
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- A handful of Bread Crumbs
Boil your pasta Al Dente
Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees
In a saute pan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Allow the two ingredients to mix and bubble.
Add the milk and continue whisking until a sauce forms.
Remove from heat.
Set aside a small handful of the mixed cheeses for later.
Add the cheeses to the white sauce and put the heat on low if needed to melt everything together into a thick cheese goo.
Add the pasta to a casserole dish,. Pour the cheese goo over the pasta and mix well.
Add salt and pepper now if you choose.
Top pasta with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs.
Bake until the cheese has melted and the top of the macaroni and cheese is crisp (30 minutes).
Planning to make the Mac and Cheese redo from my cookbook tonight...great minds think alike!! Your photo looks tres yummy.
Thanks for your comment on Veggies...do stop by again.

Wunderbar! Thats what the boyfriend, Aaron, thought of this dish...not sure when he turned German. I loved the blue cheese addition. I also added some garlic and a bit of cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit...delicious!

Katie K. I love your ideas! I think any dish that prompts a hidden self to emerge is pretty amazing eh?

blue cheese is a good idea it will cut through the sweetness of the soy milk. Thanks
