Steps:
- Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 or 3 mini-muffin pans with liners, and coat the liners generously with cooking spray.
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the macaroni and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain again and shake off any excess water.
- Put the heavy cream, cream cheese, eggs, mustard, paprika and garlic in a large bowl. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until combined (the mixture may have small lumps). Add the macaroni, Cheddar and Monterey jack, and stir until combined.
- Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the mac 'n' cheese into the prepared muffin liners. Combine the breadcrumbs and butter with your fingers in a small bowl until the mixture is the texture of wet sand. Sprinkle the top of each mac 'n' cheese mound with the buttered breadcrumbs.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and the bites are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving hot or at room temperature. Serve with hot sauce on the side, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, olive oil and salt; set aside.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook for about 8 minutes, it should still be a little bit firm. Remove from the heat, drain and return to the pan; stir in the butter and egg until pasta is evenly coated. Reserve 1/2 cup of sharp Cheddar cheese and stir the remaining Cheddar cheese, milk and mozzarella cheese into the pasta. Spoon into the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle the reserved cheese and the bread crumb mixture over the tops.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the topping is nicely browned. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. This will allow the cheese to set and they will hold their muffin shape.

- Cook the elbow macaroni in a large pot of salted boiling water over medium heat for about 6 minutes or until very al dente. Drain and return to the pot.

Add the flour to the saucepan and cook whisking constantly. When the flour is golden brown slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened. Stir in the mustard, fontina, Gruyere, and Cheddar cheeses until just melted. Stir into the cooked pasta, coating it completely, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the mixture between the buttered ramekins.
- In a medium bowl combine the panko with the grated Asiago and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the reserved melted butter and mix to combine.
- Top each ramekin with the bread crumb mixture. Bake in the oven until golden brown on top and the cheese is bubbling, about 15 to 20 minutes. Top with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

- 1. Preheat the oven to 430°F. Lightly butter 4 mini cocottes. 2. Plunge the macaroni a good minute in boiling salted water. They should not be cooked through. Pass the pasta under cold running water to stop them cooking. Add several drops of canola or simple vegetable oil to keep it from sticking together. 3. Melt the butter in a small pan over a low flame. Add the cream, the Gorgonzola, the Fontina, the Marscarpone and the Parmigiano Reggiano (reserving 4 tablespoons for the top). Stir the cheese until all are well melted. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Add the chopped walnuts. 4. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and divide into 4 mini-cocottes. Sprinkle the rest of the Parmigiano Reggiano over each cocotte. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and crusty looking. On taking them out of the oven, let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
