TOMATOEY MACARONI AND CHEESE
This recipe is from Cooks Country. The dish is a creamy and cheesy as ordinary mac and cheese, but it turns a beautiful rosy color. The acidic tomatoes keep the rich sauce in check. This dish brings to mind a favorite lunch from our childhood: tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches.
