4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/3 C all purpose flour
4 C milk, heated
2 C extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 C American cheese, finely chopped
Salt
Pepper
Hot pepper sauce
1/4 C Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the penne or elbow macaroni until al dente. Drain well.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a deep 4 qt casserole.
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and gradually whisk in the milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the cheddar and American cheese. Season to taste with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Stir the cheese sauce into the pasta and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top. Bake until; bubbly and golden brown over the edges, about 30 minutes.
Velveeta works well in combo or in place of the American cheese. For a different taste try Mexican cheese or another flavored cheese mix.
