This is a marvelously smooth mac and cheese with a bit of a bite. My family loves this. I got the idea from a recipe made on a popular cooking show, and adapted it to my own recipe and tastes. Delicious contrast if served with a 'sweet' main dish. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package seashell pasta |
2 1/2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 1/2 cups milk |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper |
4 ounces smoked gouda cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10 inch casserole dish.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
3. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook until a roux forms. Stir in the milk, salt and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is smooth and thick and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.
4. Combine cooked pasta and cheese sauce; transfer to prepared dish.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until heated through.
