On Saturday, I will be jetting off to the exotic reaches of Connecticut to visit the lovely Zoelle at her fancy-shmancy private school. So I’ll leave y’all on a positive note!
Despite my constant gloom-and-doom writings, I actual have hobbies besides predicting the deaths of everyone around me. For starters, I love to cook.
Today, I made my nine year-old sister delicious, gooey macaroni and cheese, and the dish was such a rousing success that I’ll leave it to you guys to play with while I tour exotic New Haven!
EASY BAKED MAC N’ CHEESE
- Tbs butter
- Tbs flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- Variety of shredded cheeses (I use mozzarella, sharp cheddar, asiago, and provolone, but you could use any combination of cheeses.) (Also, I put in way way too much cheese. This is not a bad thing. Cheese is awesome, and the gooier this dish is, the better.)
- 2 cups cooked pasta (I use campanelle because it’s pretty, but any sort of pasta will do, provided it isn’t a spaghetti-shape)
- Diced tomato/bacon/anything else you want to add in there
- Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in the flour. Once they make a paste, add milk. Stir constantly until the mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add cheeses. Stir. Add tomato/bacon/whatever. Stir.
- Mix the sauce with the cooked pasta, then pour the mixture in a greased baking dish and bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes.
- Please to enjoy.
Well, there you have it. Until September 8th!
