Delicious Fran: Southern Style Mac n Cheese

I've have been craving mac n cheese, I usually don't make it this way...but wanted to give it a try!

here is what I did- i didn't even use a recipe, I used a white sauce that I usually use to make a nice cheese sauce for vegetables and a good quality macaroni noodle, this turned out so well, and I will definitely be making this again but probably not till the fall now!

I used

1 1/4 cup milk brought to room temperature

2 tbls corn starch

2 tbls butter

salt and pepper

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1 cup marble cheese (reserve 1/4 cup for topping)

1-2 cups Marconi noodles

2 medium sauce pans

1 small-medium size baking dish- i used corning ware

Pre-heat oven 350 degrees.

Put pot of water with a pinch of salt in to boil- once boiling add noodles, cook till al dante (just a little bite)..Heat butter in medium sauce pan, and add the corn starch, heat for 2 mins, add pinch of salt and pepper.

Start adding milk 1 table spoon at a time till about 1/4 cup of milk has been added, ensure you are whisking constantly to avoid any lumps, slow pour in the rest of the milk, whisking constantly bring to a boil. When milk mixture comes to a boil, add small handfuls of mozzarella cheese, ensure each handful fully melts before adding the next, continue to add the cheese till you have gotten through all the mozzarella cheese and 3/4 of the marble cheese.

Drain cooked pasta and return to pot, add cheese sauce and stir, once sauce is fully incorporated transfer to the baking dish, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and put in oven, bake for 15mins then turn oven to broil and broil for 5mins till top is nice and crispy..

remove from oven and serve with your favorite foods :)
