Most of the Mac and Cheese recipes that I have seen usually use highly processed cheese, like the orange colored sharp cheddar. This time I used white sharp cheddar and Gruyere.
Ingredients
*1 pound whole wheat penne, cooked
*1 quart milk
*4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
*1/2 cup all-purpose flour
*12 ounces Gruyere, grated (4 cups)
*8 ounces white sharp cheddar, grated (2 cups)
*1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
*1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
*1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2) Heat the milk in a small saucepan, but don't boil it. Melt the butter in a large (4-quart) pot and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. While whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or two more, until thickened and smooth.
3) Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and stir well. Pour into a 3-quart baking dish. Sprinkle panko bread crumbs on the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on the top.
