Decadent Baked Mac and Cheese image

This is a rendition of a macaroni and cheese dish a local restaurant makes. It's so rich and decadent I only make it once per year. It's not a "dieter's friend". You can use any pasta shape you like.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups penne pasta
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup half-and-half
½ teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup Oaxaca cheese, shredded
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in cream, half-and-half, and garlic salt. Add Gruyere cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Oaxaca cheese. Stir into cream until melted. Drain pasta and add to the sauce; stir to coat.
  • Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and pour in pasta mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mac and cheese turned out dry and bland. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.
