Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish; set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking, until smooth and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Add the bay leaf, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the sauce comes to a simmer and thickens slightly, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaf from the sauce and whisk in the monterey jack, gruyere and cheddar one cheese at a time, allowing each cheese to melt before adding more. Add the pasta and stir until coated, adding the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen (the sauce will thicken as it bakes).
- Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the microwave. Add the panko, parmesan and a pinch of salt; stir to combine. Scatter over the pasta and bake until the crumbs are browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Boil the pasta JUST until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and return to the pan you boiled it in. Set aside. (Mix in a little butter to keep the noodles from sticking if it's going to be awhile before you make the sauce)
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- To a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the flour, salt, dry mustard, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika. With a wooden spoon or whisk, stir constantly for three minutes.
- Add the milk in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a whisk. Continue to stir constantly until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5-8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add 2 cups of the cheese, stirring until melted. You'll reserve the last cup of cheese for topping. Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta and toss gently until all of the pasta is coated.
- Add half the pasta to a two-quart casserole dish (I like a tall 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish). Sprinkle on half the cheese. Add the rest of the pasta. Sprinkle on the rest of the cheese, then dust lightly with the smoked paprika.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the mac and cheese is bubbling and browning on top.
- Serve, topping individual servings with parsley or cooked, chopped bacon if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Set a large pasta pot of heavily salted water over high heat to come to a boil.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the flour to make a roux. Stir the roux well so that it cooks evenly and turns a golden blond. Whisk in the cream and milk a little at a time, so there are no lumps. Add the garlic, whole sprigs of thyme, and bay leaves.
- Simmer over medium heat, stirring ocassionally to prevent the bottom of the pot from scorching until it thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the pasta in the boiling water according to the package directions. Drain.
- Mix the sauce with the cooked pasta. Immediately add the cheese and mix well so the heat and motion melt and stretch the cheese through the pasta. Transfer to a baking dish (I spray mine with cooking spray to prevent sticking) and top with the breadcrumbs. Cover with foil.
- Bake approximately 40 minutes until warmed through and the cheese has melted. Remove the foil and switch the oven over to broil for the final 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the chives.
- Enjoy.

CREAMIEST MAC AND CHEESE
Boxed or frozen mac and cheese dishes don't even begin to compare to this comforting, from-scratch version that's easy, affordable, and ultra-creamy! Cheddar and cream cheese add a sharp and slightly tangy flavor to the rich sauce which coats perfectly cooked pasta. It's a great base recipe that can be tweaked to your taste by switching up the cheeses or adding some cooked veggies. Serve as a meatless main course with a green salad or as a side dish with roasted or grilled meats.

Steps:
- Cook macaroni according to package directions.
- Drain.
- Immediately place cooked macaroni into large bowl.
- While still hot, stir in the butter, the cubed cheddar, and the handful of grated cheddar.
- Mix well for one minute.
- Add the eggs and the can of cheddar soup.
- Mix through.
- Season liberally with Lawry's salt and pepper.
- Mix through.
- At this point, I like to give it a taste (I know, I know, raw eggs, but I live dangerously), to test for seasoning.
- Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Add the milk and mix again.
- Place mixture into a mid-size casserole.
- I use an 11x8x3 or so.
- Don't use a dish too deep or browning will be a pain.
- Spread evenly.
- Bake at 375 for 35-45 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- This is a very old family recipe from a woman I work with.
- I am kind of a mac&cheese junkie and have tried many over the years.
- This one is tops, bar none.
- Enjoy!
- PS If you have trouble finding Lawry's seasoned pepper, you can substitute McCormick's, not as good, but will do.
