Three Cheese Macaroni
- 4 ounces whole wheat elbow macaroni
- 4 ounces elbow macaroni
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 12 teaspoon dry mustard
- 12 teaspoon paprika
- 12 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 12 cups milk
- 3 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces brie cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 ounce parmesan cheese, shredded (not the stuff in a green can)
- salt and pepper
- Boil water in a large pot.
- Add salt and a smidge of olive oil for seasoning and to help prevent boil-over.
- Add both macaronis, and boil for 7-9 minutes, checking for doneness before pouring into colander.
- In a good saucier that you can whisk in, melt butter over medium high heat.
- Add flour and spices, whisking to coat particles in butter.
- Continue whisking and cook for about a minute or two, until it really comes together in a paste.
- Pour milk in a steady stream while whisking constantly.
- This will help prevent lumps from forming.
- Continue whisking until the mixture comes together (i.e., it isn't little clumps of paste in milk).
- Let this come to a boil and thicken, then turn heat down.
- Start adding the cheese in bit by bit, letting each addition melt before adding the next.
- Once all of the cheeses have been incorporated, taste to see if it needs salt or pepper (mine needed about a 1/2 t. salt and several grinds of pepper).
- Turn heat off.
- Add drained macaroni to cheese sauce and enjoy!
