Recipe Summary Decadent Baked Mac And Cheese

This is a rendition of a macaroni and cheese dish a local restaurant makes. It's so rich and decadent I only make it once per year. It's not a "dieter's friend". You can use any pasta shape you like.

Ingredients | Mac And Cheese Poppers

2 cups penne pasta

2 tablespoons butter

½ cup heavy whipping cream

½ cup half-and-half

½ teaspoon garlic salt

1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

½ cup Oaxaca cheese, shredded

cooking spray

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in cream, half-and-half, and garlic salt. Add Gruyere cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Oaxaca cheese. Stir into cream until melted. Drain pasta and add to the sauce; stir to coat.

Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and pour in pasta mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
