3 Cheese Macaroni And Cheese Recipe

	Hikergirl / All my dishes 1 year ago This is such great comfort food when it gets cold! You can change up the cheese however you like. Just use about the same amounts. Extra sharp anything tastes the best! Prep:10m Cook:15m Servings:6	Hikergirl

Ingredients

1 lb. (16 oz.) whole wheat pasta (rotini, elbow, penne, whatever looks fun)

salt

2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil (makes it a little healthier, I think, to use some olive oil instead of all butter)

3 or 4 tablespoons flour

salt, pepper

about 3/4 cup milk (more or less depending on how thick it looks)

about 3/4 cup chicken broth (more or less depending on how thick it looks)

about 2 cups extra sharp cheddar, grated

about 3/4 cup swiss, grated

1/3 cup parmesian cheese, grated (split into two parts)

2 to 3 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

Put pasta is salted boiling water and cook 6 min. or so (just under 'al dente' as it will cook a little more in the oven later).

Pre-heat broiler.

Meanwhile, melt butter and heat olive oil in a big skillet.

Whisk the flour into the butter/oil mixture and whisk for about 2 min. (just enough to cook out the flour taste).

Add milk and whisk for about a min. until there are no lumps.

Add chicken broth and whisk until thickened to right consistancy.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Stir in all cheese (reserve 1/2 of the parmesian) until melted.

Add the cooked, drained pasta and stir until coated.

Put in a glass casserole dish.

Mix remaining parmesian cheese and breadcrumbs in a bowl and put on top of pasta.

Put on second to top rack under broiler and bake for about 5 min. until a little brown on the top.

Let set for a couple minutes before serving.
