Curry Crumbs
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup finely diced onion
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
4 cups fresh breadcrumbs (TIP below)
Macaroni
3 cups macaroni or 3 cups penne
1/2 cup mild creamy chevre cheese, crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
1 cup shredded friulano cheese or 1 cup gouda cheese
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups whole milk or 4 cups 2% low-fat milk
1 sprig fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 -5 green onions, thinly sliced

1
Heat butter in a large frying pan over medium heat until bubbly. Add onion; cook 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and curry; cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, or until fragrant. Remove from heat. Stir in bread crumbs; set aside.
2
Cook pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions for al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Set aside.
3
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F (200u00b0C).
4
Toss cheeses together with flour and salt. Set aside. Heat milk with thyme and bay leaf in a large saucepan over medium heat. When just starting to bubble, stir in cheese mixture by handfuls. Heat, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes until sauce is just starting to bubble and is thickened. Remove bay leaf and thyme stem; stir in black pepper and green onions. Stir in pasta until coated.
5
Turn mixture into a 4 qt baking dish which has been coated with cooking spray for easy cleanup. Smooth top and evenly sprinkle with curry crumbs.
6
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a knife inserted into the centre feels hot when removed. If crumbs are getting too brown, lay a piece of foil loosely overtop. Serve with sugar snap or snow peas and warm chapati or whole wheat pita. (Any remainder can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat, loosely covered, in microwave on half power until hot.).
