Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces elbow macaroni or other short pasta shape (we used gigli pasta)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups 2% milk at room temperature
2 cups shredded Havarti or mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)
3 tablespoons Basil Pesto or store bought basil pesto

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook just until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the flour to create a paste. Add the milk and whisk until smooth. Increase the heat to medium and continue whisking until the sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Stir in the shredded cheese and continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Fold in the pesto.
Add the pasta, stirring to combine, and cook just until the pasta is warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/2 lb macaroni
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup packed grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup goat cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh)
1/4 cup goat cheese (about 1 ounce)
freshly grated pepper

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil.
Add the macaroni and cook about 8 to 10 minutes, or until just tender, depending on the size of the pasta. Drain.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. When the butter is melted and sizzling, stir in the flour to create a paste and cook 1 minute.
Slowly add the milk, whisking to create a smooth sauce. Let cook about 5 minutes or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the pan from the heat and slowly add the grated Parmesan and the goat cheese, whisking to create a smooth sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Use the olive oil to grease the bottom of a medium size gratin or baking dish, about 8 to 10 inches long.
Place the drained macaroni in the dish and pour the cheese sauce on top, stirring gently to coat all the macaroni.
In a small bowl, make the topping. Mix the Parmesan, breadcrumbs, thyme, and pepper. Spoon over the macaroni and top with the goat cheese.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the pasta is hot.
