Mac n Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 lb. rotini or cavatappi
• 2 c. whole milk
• 8 oz. cream cheese
• 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1 tsp. fresh-ground pepper
• ½ tsp. salt
• 1½ c. grated sharp Cheddar
• 1½ c. shredded smoked Gouda

Directions

1. Cook the pasta and make the sauce: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the pasta following package directions. Strain the pasta, rinse with cold water to cool and prevent clumping, drain well, and transfer to a large bowl. Set aside. Combine the milk, cream cheese, butter, pepper, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter and cream cheese have melted -- about 10 minutes.
2. Assemble the macaroni and cheese: Toss the Cheddar and Gouda with the reserved pasta. Add the hot milk mixture and stir until well combined. Transfer pasta to a 3-quart baking dish and bake until the macaroni is set and the top is golden brown -- about 30 minutes. Divide macaroni and cheese among 8 plates and serve hot.
