I've been working on a good mac and cheese recipe for a while and I'm pretty sure this is the best I've ever made. I use cavatappi pasta, but you can use any shape you have on hand. It's really easy and a great winter super... Enjoy!!

[email protected]Quite good. I'll admit to changing it up a little by adding bread crumbs and Italian seasoning. Also used a combo of sharp cheddar and mozzarella. Baked uncovered for 20 minutes and the top was starting to get crispy. Very satisfying!
