Time 57m

Yield 1 13x9 pan, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb farfalle pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 lb white cheddar cheese, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas, thawed
1/2 lb finely diced smoked ham (such as Cumberland Gap)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350°. Coat 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Cook pasta in lightly salted water following package directions, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • 2. While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a medium-size, heavy-bottomed saucepan (not nonstick) over medium heat. Stir in flour until well blended; cook 1 minute. Whisk in 1 cup of milk and cook, whisking continuously, until smooth. Whisk in remaining 1 cup milk and continue to cook, whisking until thickened and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg. Whisk in 2 cups of the cheese until smooth.
  • 3. In a large bowl, mix together the pasta, cheese sauce and 1 cup of the remaining cheese. Stir in the peas and ham. Pour into prepared baking dish. Scatter remaining 1 cup cheese evenly over the top.
  • 4. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from oven; allow to cool 10 minutes. May be served warm or at room temperature.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The mac and cheese was bland and lacked flavor. I think I will stick to my old recipe in the future.

This was the best mac and cheese I have ever had! The white cheddar gave it a really unique flavor, and the breadcrumbs on top were the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This mac and cheese was good, but it wasn't anything special. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella.

This mac and cheese was amazing! It was so creamy and cheesy, and the white cheddar gave it a really sharp flavor. I added some cooked bacon to mine, and it was the perfect addition. I will definitely be making this again.
