I like this recipe because its not just pasta with cheese...
Topping:
6 slices white bread
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into six pieces
Pasta:
1 pound elbow macaroni (or other kind if you wish)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 table spoons flour
1 1/2 teaspoons powdered mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
5 cups milk
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded or crumbled
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or crumbled
Put bread and butter into a food processor until the crumbs are no larger than 1/8 inch. Set aside
Boil 4 quarts water in a dutch oven over high heat, add pasta and tablespoon salt, once pasta is tender, set aside in a colander.
heat butter over medium-high heat in Dutch oven till it foams. Add flour, mustard, and cayenne and whisk well for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, bring mixture to boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium, and whisk occasionaly, about 5 or so minutes. Turn off heat, whisk in cheeses and 1 teaspoon salt untill cheese fully melts. Add pasta and cook over medium low heat stirring occasionaly, about 6 minutes.
Transfer to broiler-safe baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, make sure bread crumbs don't burn.
Definitely a different type of macaroni
