"Why we love this recipe. We’ve love most mac and cheeses, but this one is at the top of our list. It’s easy to make, can be served as stovetop mac and cheese or baked and it’s unbelievably cheesy and creamy.What you need to know. When choosing pasta for this, choose something that holds onto sauce nicely -- elbow macaroni, penne or spiral pasta works well. If you can, grate the cheese yourself, store-bought grated cheese does not melt as nicely. We really like using white cheddar cheese for this. It is usually much sharper that yellow cheddar and melts perfectly into the sauce. Many recipes like this call for Gruyere cheese instead of Romano. Gruyere is lovely in this recipe, so feel free to substitute it for the Romano.Equipment you’ll need. Measuring jugs, cups and spoons, 3-quart baking dish (a 13-inch by 9-inch baking dish works well), large pot, large and high-sided pan, whisk and spoon or spatula...."
