Perfect Macaroni and Cheese





Serves 12





6 slices good-quality white bread, crusts removed, torn into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces


8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for dish


5 1/2 cups milk


1/2 cup all-purpose flour


2 teaspoons kosher salt


1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg


1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper


4 1/2 cups (about 18 ounces) grated sharp white cheddar


2 cups (about 8 ounces) grated Gruyere or 1 1/4 cups (about 5 ounces) grated pecorino Romano


1 pound elbow macaroni





1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish; set aside. Place bread pieces in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Pour butter into the bowl with bread, and toss. Set the breadcrumbs aside. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, heat milk. Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a high-sided skillet over medium heat. When butter bubbles, add flour. Cook, stirring, 1 minute.





2. Slowly pour hot milk into flour-butter mixture while whisking. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick.


3. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in salt, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper, 3 cups cheddar, and 1 1/2 cups Gruyere or 1 cup pecorino Romano. Set cheese sauce aside.





4. Fill a large saucepan with water. Bring to a boil. Add macaroni; cook 2 to 3 fewer minutes than manufacturer's directions, until outside of pasta is cooked and inside is underdone. (Different brands of macaroni cook at different rates; be sure to read the instructions.) Transfer the macaroni to a colander, rinse under cold running water, and drain well. Stir macaroni into the reserved cheese sauce.





5. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 cups cheddar and 1/2 cup Gruyere or 1/4 cup pecorino Romano; scatter breadcrumbs over the top. Bake until browned on top, about 30 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes; serve.

A savory twist on traditional macaroni and cheese made with multiple cheeses for layers of cheese flavor in every bite.





INGREDIENTS


1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni


1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


1 cup shredded Swiss cheese


1 cup grated Parmesan cheese


1 cup shredded provolone cheese


1/2 cup ricotta cheese


1/2 cup sour cream


1/2 cup heavy cream


1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley


1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning


1/2 teaspoon garlic salt








DIRECTIONS


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain.


In a large bowl, toss together the mozzarella cheese, Swiss cheese, Parmesan cheese and Provolone cheese. Remove about 1/2 cup for topping and set aside. In a separate bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese, sour cream and heavy cream. Season with parsley, Italian seasoning and garlic salt.


Pour the ricotta cheese mixture and drained macaroni into the bowl with the cheeses and toss lightly. Do not mix too thoroughly, it's better left messy. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top.


Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes, then turn the oven to broil. Broil for about 5 minutes to brown the top
