This is the best way to do box mac. Drain the cooked macaroni, set it aside. Heat the butter %26amp; milk in the pan until almost boiling - add the sauce mix %26amp; whisk until smooth. Add the mac. My sister taught me this little trick %26amp; it's pretty good for when you don't have time to make it the old fashioned way. Now, for the good stuff:





Pastitso





1 lb long macaroni


4 T butter


3/4 c parmesan (freshly grated)


1/4 t nutmeg


salt %26amp; pepper


3 eggs, lightly beaten





Meat Sauce:





1 lg onion, chopped


1 clove garlic, crushed


2 T butter


1-1/2 lb ground beef


1/4 c tomato paste


1/2 c dry red or white wine


1/2 c stock


2 T chopped parsley


1/2 t sugar


salt %26amp; pepper





Cream sauce





1/3 c butter


1/2 c flour


3 c milk


1/4 t nutmeg


salt %26amp; pepper


1 egg, lightly beaten





1. Cook macaroni in boiling, salted water until just tender. Drain %26amp; return to pan.


2. Melt butter until golden brown %26amp; pour over macaroni. Add 1/2 c of the cheese, the nutmeg, salt %26amp; pepper to taste %26amp; toss well. Leave until cool, add eggs %26amp; toss again. Keep aside.


3. Make meat sauce. Gently fry onion %26amp; garlic in butter until onion is soft, increase heat %26amp; add ground beef. Stir well %26amp; cook until meat begins to brown.


4. Add remaining meat sauce ingredients, cover %26amp; simmer over gentle heat for 20 minutes.


5. Make cream sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in flour %26amp; cook gently for 2 minutes. Add milk all at once %26amp; bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Boil gently for 1 minute.


6. Add nutmeg, salt %26amp; pepper to taste %26amp; cool a little before stirring in beaten egg.


7. Add 1/2 c of this sauce to the cooked meat sauce.


8. To assemble Pastitso, butter a 13x9x3 inch oven dish. Sppon half of the prepared macaroni evenly in the base %26amp; top w/the meat sauce. Cover w/remaining macaroni, levelling top.


9. Pour on cream sauce and spread to completely cover macaroni. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top %26amp; cook at 350 for fifty minutes until golden brown.


10. Let it stand for 10 minutes before cutting into squares to serve.What is your favorite macaroni and cheese recipe?
