My kids LOVE mac and cheese! I love cheese....so we were all happy! This is super creamy and filling. A great comfort food dinner, we will definitely be having this a lot!
~Recipe~
1 pounduncooked small pasta
1/4 c flour
3 cupsmilk
2 cups(8 ounces) shredded fontina cheese
1/4 cup(2 ounces) mascarpone cheese
3/4 teaspoonsalt
1/4 teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
3 (1-ounce) slices white bread
1 tablespoonbutter
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 tablespoonschopped fresh parsley
Cook pasta according to package directions... Drain and keep warm.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine flour and milk in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring with a whisk. Cook 10 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly with a whisk, you don't want it to burn. Remove from heat; add cheeses, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Stir in salt and black pepper. Add cooked pasta, stirring to coat. Spoon pasta mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Tear bread into several pieces. Place bread in a food processor; process until fine crumbs measure 1 1/2 cups. *I would never use this much again....maybe 1/4 of the amount*
Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in breadcrumbs until well combined. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture evenly over pasta mixture. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until bubbly. YUMMY!! Enjoy~
