Macaroni and Cheese With Egg Noodles and Cream image

Not diet food. So rich. So creamy. Decadent. Make it. Enjoy it. I've made this 3 times now and my family just loves it. I made it to serve at the big family Christmas, too. Not your traditional orange "Mac and Cheese". From "Everyday Italian" show on Food Network. The original recipe claims 8 servings, but we get more like 8 from a 3/4 recipe. I would say it does 12 servings. It is very rich.

Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

butter, for greasing dish
12 ounces wide egg noodles
2 cups heavy cream (no substitutions. This is a rich dish. Go with it. Don't try to slim it down.)
2 1/2 cups whole milk (No substitutions)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (original recipe said 2 tsp, but I have used tbsp to get this to set up and thicken)
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for pasta water
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups grated Fontina cheese, packed
3/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese, packed
3/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese, packed
4 ounces cooked ham, finely diced (optional)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Butter a 13 by 9 inch baking dish.
  • Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, but still firm to bit, stirring frequently. About 5 minutes. Drain well, but do not rinse.
  • Whisk the cream, milk, flour 1/2 tsp salt and pepper in a large bowl to blend.
  • Stir in PART of the cheese only to the milk/cream mixture. 1 cup Fontina. 1/2 cup parmesan. 1/2 cup mozzarella. Also stir in ham, if using, and parsley. Add the noodles and toss to coat.
  • Transfer noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  • In a small bowl combine all the remaining cheeses and toss to blend. Sprinkle the combined cheeses over the noodle mixture.
  • Bake until the sauce bubbles and the cheese melts and begins to brown and get a bit crispy on top, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
