This is pure comfort food, saved for times when you don't think about the calories,
but just enjoy the pure taste!! This is hubby's creation. We only have it once and a great while
and it is so delicious!!
1 (16 oz.) package penne pasta
3 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/4 pound processed cheese (like Velveeta) cubed.
1/4 pound provolone slices or cubes
Prepare pasta according to directions on package. Drain and set aside.
In a large pan on medium heat, melt butter. Add flour, stirring constantly until mixture thickens.
Add milk, salt, paprika and cheese. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens but is smooth.
(The cheese sauce should resemble and extra-thick cream) If mixture is too thick, a little more milk can be added. Pour the drained pasta into the sauce and gently stir. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Serve and Enjoy!!

Looks good Tiffanee! I've been thinking about Mac and Cheese for a couple weeks now, think I'll make some this weekend! Happy Friday:@)
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good. My grands won't eat anything but the Blue box even when I make a lovely dish like that.

ReplyDeleteLucky you! My husband made me when we were dating tuna pasta and I have never seen anything from his hands ever since. They look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI simply adore mac n' cheese. Sometimes, I need comfort from keeping track of calories and this sounds like a fabulous dish to try! Love provolone!
ReplyDeleteYummy! You can't beat mac and cheese.
ReplyDeleteHi Tiffanee! Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you can absolutely use fresh spinach in place of frozen.
Cheers,
