List of Ingredients
2 cups Mission elbow sized macaroni noodles
2 cups Verdi penne rigate noodles
2 heaping cups of Tillamook® Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
2 heaping cups of Tillamook® Sharp Cheddar Cheese
2 heaping cups of Tillamook® Extra Sharp Vintage White Cheddar Cheese
¾ cup of grated or dried Parmesan Cheese
5 TBSP. Tillamook® Butter
1 ½ cups of Tillamook® Half and Half
3 TBSP. White Flour
1 cup Corn Flakes crumbs
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
Broccoli trees for garnishing
Pimentos for garnishing
1 cup of Tillamook® Sharp Cheddar Cheese for topping
Recipe
Boil the noodles 10 to 12 minutes in 2 ½ quarts of water. Drain well.
Make white sauce by heating the butter until it’s melted. Then add the 3 TBSP. white flour, stirring continually. Begin adding the half and half cream. (You can substitute milk, either 2% or skim) The mixture will thicken while you stir. Be ready with your 6 cups of grated Tillamook® Cheese. Add and stir until all cheese is melted. Add salt and pepper and if you wish a little garlic powder. Pour sauce over the macaroni noodles and stir well. Place in a baking dish and top with the remaining 1cup of Tillamook® Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Sprinkle over that, the cup of corn flakes crumbs. Omit the last step if you do not desire the added "crunchiness" that the corn flakes crumbs add.
Bake until the cheese on top is melted and the topping is crispy. Approximately 15 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees. Top with the broccoli flowerets, pimentos and a sprinkle of your favorite herb. I used just a ¼ tsp of dried onions and chives.
Recipe serves 6 to 8.
