What's for Dinner? Day 97


The kids and I love Noodles and Company!

We go there in Utah :)  But they don't have them in Washington.

Tonight we tried the knock of Wisconsin Mac and Cheese recipe from Noodles and Company.

That's the kids favorite!

I usually get something off the Mediterranean menu but did just mac and cheese tonight.

Noodles and Company Mac and Cheese




1 lb. elbow noodles
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
3 cups half and half--I used fat free milk because that is what I had
1/2 tsp salt
3 Cups Monterrey Jack (or Colby Jack)--I used Monterrey Jack, but would have liked a sharper cheese better I think



Cook pasta according to package directions.

In large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour making a roux. Gradually stir in half and half whisking until thickened. Stir in salt. Remove from heat. Add cheese, stir until cheese melts. Top with fancy shredded mild cheddar cheese.

To serve Noodles and Company way put a good size spoonful of cheesy sauce in the bottom of a bowl, top with cooked elbow noodles and then sprinkle grated cheese on the top.  You can also add broccoli for the trees.  That's what we did.  Then stir to mix on your own :)
