This recipe came to me from my old across-the-hall neighbor in New York City. Makes a wonderfully smooth and cheesy side dish, or it can be easily doubled for Pot Lucks and Parties. Absolute comfort food! Ingredients:
8 ounces mostaccioli pasta (ziti or penne' pasta could also be used) |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
1/4 cup flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
4 1/2 cups milk |
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 cup shredded swiss cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook Pasta al dente style. While Pasta is cooking, preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Melt Butter in a large saucepan under medium heat. Stir in Flour, Salt and Pepper. Gradually add Milk; cook and stir until it thickens and slowly bubbles. 3. Remove from heat; stir in 1 cup each Cheddar and Parmesan Cheese, blend until mixed well. Stir in Pasta. 4. Spoon 1/2 Pasta and sauce into greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Layer with Swiss Cheese, then remaining Pasta mixture. 5. Cover and bake 25-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. 6. Uncover and sprinkle remaining Cheddar Cheese over the top. Serve after Cheese melts, about 5-10 minutes. |
