Steps:
- Heat a medium, deep skillet over medium heat. Add oil and butter. When butter melts into the oil, add flour and combine. Gently cook, whisking flour and butter together, until smooth and flour has had a chance to cook, about 3 minutes. Slowly add milk while continuing to whisk. Gently bring milk to a bubble while stirring frequently. Allow the milk to thicken a bit, then stir in 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese a handful at a time. Season sauce with nutmeg and cayenne. Taste and add a little salt, if you like. Add cooked pasta to sauce and coat completely by turning over and over in the cheese sauce. Transfer to a flameproof baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Place baking dish under a hot broiler and brown the Cheddar cheese on top.

EASY NO-BOIL MACARONI & CHEESE
I found this recipe in a doctor's office. It is great for a week night meal as you don't need to boil the pasta first; instead, you just basically toss the ingredients together and then bake in the oven. I really enjoyed the dish when it came out of the oven, but I was less enthusiastic about the leftovers (yet I hate leftovers anyway.)

RAW MACARONI AND CHEESE
This isn't the creamiest, best tasting macaroni and cheese out there. This is a yummy, super quick casserole, that my family adores. My kids love the pepperoni variation the best. It is easily adapted for your pickiest eater. I have also increased the quantity easily. I add a bit more butter, and noodles. Just be sure the milk comes up to top of noodles. I've never had to increase time. It does rise and could boil over if there isn't enough room in pan.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a deep baking dish. Stir uncooked noodles in melted butter until well coated. Sprinkle salt and pepper and cheese on noodles. Pour milk on all until it just reaches the top of the noodles. (Do not stir) Bake at 375F for one hour. Do not stir.
- You can add frozen vegetables to the dry noodles and place some meat on top before you bake. Peas, pepperoni, and colby jack cheese is my family's favorite. We've also loved other variations too.

Steps:
- Use a 9x13 baking dish, add uncooked macaroni and pour the melted butter or oil and stir to coat the noodles well. Mix in your shredded cheese or cheese combinations and salt and pepper to taste. Cover with the milk, I like to reserve a little cheese for the top. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for about one hour, DO NOT STIR! The top should be lightly browning and the whole mess should be bubbling on the edges. This dish can have other ingredients added but you must adjust the amount of milk, always make sure that the milk covers the noodles--shake the dish gently to settle the ingredients. I have done taco mac & cheese, bacon mac & cheese, ham mac & cheese, 7 cheese mac & cheese, this is a no fuss great meal that the leftovers reheat well in the microwave, and freezes well. Use your imagination this is a great single guy dinner or kid friendly recipe.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. When it starts to bubble, stir in the flour, and cook for 1 minute. In a separate pot, heat the milk to just below boiling. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture whisking constantly. Cook until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick. Remove the pot from the heat and add the spices, cheddar, fontina, and Gruyere.
- Cook the pasta for 2 to 3 minutes less than al dente in boiling, salted water (the outside of the shell should be cooked but the inside is not).
- Preheat the broiler.
- Stir the pasta into the cheese sauce and portion evenly among 6 ramekins. Divide bread crumbs evenly among the ramekins and sprinkle on top. Brown the ramekins in the broiler or oven until golden brown and the sauce is bubbly, about 4 minutes.
Tips:
- To ensure the best texture for your raw mac and cheese, choose a firm variety of macaroni, such as penne or fusilli.
- Soak the macaroni in water for at least 30 minutes before assembling the dish. This will help to soften the pasta and make it more digestible.
- Use a high-quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
- Add some vegetables to your raw mac and cheese for extra nutrition and flavor. Good options include broccoli, cauliflower, and bell peppers.
- If you want a creamy sauce, add some soaked cashews or almond butter to the blender.
- Season the mac and cheese to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
- Serve the mac and cheese immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later.
