    Recipe Introduction


    The recipe calls for smoked Gouda, but your favorite regular or smoked cheese will work just fine.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 pound uncooked cellentani pasta
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 3 tablespoons flour
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 (12-oz.) can evaporated milk
    • 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded smoked Gouda cheese
    • 1 (3-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper, divided
    • 1 (8-oz.) package chopped cooked, smoked ham
    • 2 cups cornflakes cereal, crushed
    • 2 tablespoons butter, melted


    Instructions


    1. Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare cellentani pasta according to package directions. Transfer hot pasta to a large bowl.
    2. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour until smooth; cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and evaporated milk; cook, whisking constantly, 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened. Whisk in Gouda, cream cheese, salt, and 1/4 tsp. ground red pepper until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in chopped ham.
    3. Combine pasta and Gouda cheese mixture, and pour into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Stir together 2 cups crushed cereal, 2 Tbsp. melted butter, and remaining 1/4 tsp. ground red pepper; sprinkle over pasta mixture.
