Catherine Newman's recipe for my favorite comfort food, macaroni and cheese, is my absolute favorite and is the one I have used at the last two pot luck suppers I've gone to. The first time I brought this dish to church was in April for a Palm Sunday luncheon. A month later we had an evening pot luck supper and game night, and I signed up to bring salad. Apparently someone remembered how good my previous dish tasted. Whoever it was (no one has fessed up yet) put a thick pencil line through "salad" and wrote, "You HAVE to bring that macaroni and cheese dish!" I dutifully complied. ;-)
You can find this yummy comfort food recipe at http://family.go.com/parent-to-parent/blogs/catherine-newman-blog/macaroni-and-cheese-775523/. While you're there, read Catherine's blog about Birdy, a toy, and her views on macaroni and cheese.
This is your chance to share your favorite macaroni and cheese recipes and stories with us. Let's dish!

I made the mac and cheese this weekend and it was a gigantic hit. My family asked me to make it again THIS WEEK because they thought it tasted so good. I think I'll have to make a double batch so there will be leftovers this time.

That's what I do, especially in the summer, Helen. If the stove has to be on, I might as well bake a double batch and have leftovers or put portions in the freezer. ;-)

Italian Macaroni and Cheese - serves 20
Ingredients
2 sticks butter
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 tsp nutmeg, freshly ground
2 cups milk
2 pounds cooked and cooled pasta (ziti, rigatoni, rotellini, penne, mostacioli, etc)
2 lbs ricotta
1 pound shredded mozzarella
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 cup Pecarino-Romano cheese, freshly grated
1/4 fresh basil, choppedDirections
In a large saucepan, melt the butter and simmer the garlic on low until it becomes soft (about 5 minutes). Whisk in the flour salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook and stir until bubbly (about 2 minutes). Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring until well blended. Cook until the mixture just starts to boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce is thickened, stirring to keep sauce from scorching.In a large bowl mix together the pasta, olive oil, tomato, bread crumbs, basil, Pecarino-Romano cheese, Mozzarella cheese, and Ricotta cheese. Top with sauce and gently mix in. Spoon the pasta mixture into two large casserole dishes. Bake at 350F for half an hour.
