Answer 1

MACARONI AND CHEESE

When preparing the following pastas in advance (up to six hours), keep them covered and chilled and then let them come to room temperature before baking.

7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1 pound elbow macaroni
3 cups coarsely grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (about 12 ounces)
1 1/3 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup fresh bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter a 3- to 4-quart gratin dish or other shallow baking dish.
In a heavy saucepan melt 6 tablespoons butter over moderately low heat. Add flour and cook roux, whisking, 3 minutes. Add milk in a stream, whisking, and bring to a boil, whisking. Add mustard, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer sauce, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes.

In a kettle of salted boiling water cook macaroni until just al dente, about 7 minutes, and drain well. In a large bowl stir together macaroni, sauce, Cheddar, and 1 cup Parmesan and transfer to prepared dish.

In a small bowl stir together bread crumbs and remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and sprinkle evenly over macaroni. Cut remaining 1 tablespoon butter into bits and scatter over topping.

Bake macaroni in middle of oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.

Serves 6 to 8 as entrée or 8 to 10 as a side dish.

Answer 2

Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

* 8 ounces Elbow macaroni or assorted, pasta (2 cups)
* 1 tablespoon Butter, room temperature
* 1 Egg, well beaten
* 1 teaspoon Dry mustard
* 1/2 teaspoon Salt
* 1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg
* 1 tablespoon Boiling water
* 1 cup Milk
* 3 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, 12 oz
* 1/4 cup Onion, grated
* Paprika
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Cook the macaroni or pasta in boiling water following the package directions until al dente, or still a bit firm to the bite. Drain the pasta or macaroni, then return it to the saucepan. Stir in the butter and egg. In a large bowl, combine mustard, salt and nutmeg with the 1 tablespoon of boiling water. Stir in the milk, 2-1/2 cups of the cheese, the onion and macaroni or pasta.

Pour the macaroni mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Top with the remaining cheese then sprinkle with the paprika. Bake the macaroni and cheese casserole in the 350° oven for 1 hour or until topping is nicely browned.

I particularly enjoy this recipe because I detest the bland tasting only cheesy macaroni. The mustard gives it THE flavor.

Enjoy!

Answer 3

First you need to boil some water. Then when the water is boiling real good then drop your elbow macaroni in and a pinch of salt. Let the macaroni cook until tender, stir occasionally. When it's good and tender, drain water, add a small chunk of butter, a small amount of milk, and some Velvetta chunk cheese that's been cut up into bite size pieces. Cook over low heat until cheese has melted!! TADA!! Now you're ready to eat your mac and cheese!!

Answer 4

OK first you get yourself macaroni, tomato, garlic, tomato paste and some spices, don't forget the cheese;
place the macaroni in boiling water and add salt to it, keep stirring a little;
in the mean time, cut some tomato's and garlic;
go back to the macaroni and see if it got soft, if yes remove it, spill the water and put the macaroni in another bowl or plate whatever you've got;
now you cook the tomato and garlic, first you put a little bit of cooking oil, put the tomato, stir till melts down add the garlic and tomato paste keep stirring, then you add spices, mixed spices would do, add extra red pepper if you like it spicy;
after cooking well, you can add a little of water to it if you feel its little, then you get the macaroni left aside and put it with the tomato and Starr till macaroni gets all red;
leave it closed for like 10 to 15 minutes and serve;
you can use the cheese anyway you like after the macaroni is ready, one way is take a bit of macaroni at a time and put it in a pan stir it with the shredded cheese; each serving.

Enjoy your meal. I love this don't forget to invite me

Answer 7

Good answers have been given (although homemade beats anything in a box). I make a white sauce, and add grated sharp cheddar, stir in the cooked macaroni, put it in a casserole, with more grated cheese and bread crumbs on the top, and bake until the crumbs start to brown, about 30 minutes at 350.
