Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish; set aside. Place bread in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Pour butter into bowl with bread, and toss. Set 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, whisking, 1 minute.
- While whisking, slowly pour in hot milk. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick.
- Remove pan from heat. Stir in salt, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper, 3 cups cheddar cheese, and 1 1/2 cups Gruyere or 1 cup Pecorino Romano; set cheese sauce aside.
- Fill a large saucepan with water; bring to a boil. Add macaroni; cook 2 to 3 minutes less than manufacturer's directions, until the outside of pasta is cooked and the inside is underdone. (Different brands of macaroni cook at different rates; be sure to read the instructions.) Transfer macaroni to a colander, rinse under cold running water, and drain well. Stir macaroni into the reserved cheese sauce
- Pour mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Gruyere or 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano, and breadcrumbs over top. Bake until browned on top, about 30 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes; serve hot.
"WORLD'S BEST" MACARONI & CHEESE
We tasted this in Seattle at the Pike Place Market in the Beecher's store. It is the best! I had to get their recipe and I found it on the internet; It is a very rich creamy comfort food. I do not have Beecher's cheese so I improvised with what is available and it came out as tasty as the original. Serve this with a crisp salad. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350; F. Set a large pot of water on high heat.
- Meanwhile, begin the sauce by making a roux: in a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Continue to stir this roux over medium heat for two to three minutes.
- The roux should be cooked and free of the flour flavor but still light in color.
- Gradually add milk, whisking briskly to maintain a smooth sauce.
- Cook the sauce for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching.
- When sauce thickens, add cheeses, salt and spices to the sauce, and stir until all the cheese has melted. I make my sauces in the microwave; turns out great and never scorches.
- Somewhere during this sauce-cooking process, your pasta water has started boiling. The original is made with Penne noodles. Add a generous amount of salt to the water and cook the pasta until almost but not quite al dente (two minutes before the package directions indicate). You want barely undercooked pasta so that it can finish in the oven later. Halt the cooking by draining the pasta and rinsing with cold water. Return pasta to pot.
- Pour sauce over pasta and stir until completely incorporated. The combination should be fairly saucy, almost soupy.
- Dish the mixture into a buttered 9-13 pan and sprinkle with extra grated cheeses and cayenne. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, until you have beautiful, browned edges. Those edges will be a welcome and flavorful addition to each serving.
- Let the dish sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. I divided this in 2 containers and froze one.
MAC 'N' CHEESE
Can mac 'n' cheese be haute? Yes, in the hands of Maximo Lopez May, the executive chef of Wall & Water at the Andaz Wall Street Hotel in Manhattan, who adds exotic mushrooms. "It only works if the mushrooms are great," he said, "so go for elegant ones, like chanterelles or trumpets." If your budget doesn't allow for those, then use oyster mushrooms, hen o' the woods or cremini. But use a mix.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, 10 to 13 minutes, depending on the size of the pasta. Drain and set aside.
- In a small pan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Remove from heat and set aside. In a small bowl, combine bread, thyme, and half the melted butter. Mix and set aside.
- In a large sauté pan over medium heat, combine remaining melted butter, onion and garlic. Sauté until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, adding olive oil if pan looks dry, and sauté until tender, about 12 minutes.
- When the mushrooms are tender, add wine and stir until it has evaporated. Add cream and 1 cup milk, and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, 10 ounces grated cheese, lemon zest and chopped parsley. Mix well, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add more milk and cheese as needed for a creamy, cheesy sauce.
- Butter a 10-inch diameter baking dish, 3- to 4-inches deep. Pour in pasta mixture, and top with bread mixture. Bake, uncovered, until the bread turns golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve hot.
