WHITE CHEDDAR MAC & CHEESE
My mac and cheese is simple and has lots of flavor from the cheeses and ground chipotle chile. I use conchiglie pasta because its shape allows more melted cheese to pool inside. Yum! -Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

I took a recipe I found online and used it as the base for mine. This stuff is dynamite!

Steps:
- Combine macaroni, milk, water, garlic salt, and salt in a Dutch oven on a stovetop over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently so noodles don't stick to the pan, until noodles are soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat and stir in margarine and pepper until melted. Stir in Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese until melted.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Top pasta with bread crumbs, remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, and bacon bits.
- Place Dutch oven under the broiler until topping is lightly browned and crispy, 1 to 3 minutes. Top with chives and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for sharp white cheddar cheese, fresh rosemary, and creamy milk. - Don't overcook the macaroni. Al dente pasta is best in mac and cheese, so cook it according to the package directions minus 1 minute. - Make a roux with butter and flour to thicken the cheese sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming grainy. - Add the cheese sauce to the macaroni gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from clumping. - Season the mac and cheese with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice. - Top the mac and cheese with panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese before baking. This will give the dish a crispy, golden-brown topping. - Let the mac and cheese rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the sauce to set and the flavors to meld together.Conclusion:
This rosemary white cheddar mac and cheese is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your mac and cheese gooey or firm, mild or spicy, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a cheesy pasta dish, give this rosemary white cheddar mac and cheese a try. You won't be disappointed!
