Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 450º.

3. Place flour in a large saucepan. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Cook over medium heat 8 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly. Add Cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper; cook 3 minutes or until cheese melts, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in roasted vegetables and macaroni.

4. Spoon mixture into a 3-quart casserole coated with cooking spray. Combine remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and paprika, and sprinkle over macaroni mixture. Bake at 375º for 20 minutes or until bubbly.
