My kids always ask me for my recipe for Mac and Cheese. Well, I don't have a recipe, I just do it. But this is the best I can do in the way of a recipe

2 boxes of cooked penne pasta or any other shape that you like

3
1 stick of margarine

4
enough flour to make a thick paste
-

cheese

I use about 1 lb of cheese ends from the deli counter. They are all different cheeses mixed up. I have even used ricotta and cream cheese. Anything I have on hand. I also add about 1 1/2 lbs of sharp or extra sharp cheddar.

Make the cream sauce and add the cheese a little at a time. I don't bother to shred the cheese, just chop it up in small chunks.

STIR, STIR, STIR, AND STIR SOME MORE or else the bottom will burn

I put half the mac in a pan and then sprinkle about 2 cupfuls of mozzarella on it then add the rest of the mac.

Add the sauce to the mac. I like to add a lot so it is really creamy when it is finished.

I have started to put crumbs made from crushed ritz cracker browned in butter on top and it's great.

Bake in 350 oven until hot and bubbly and the top starts to brown.
