PATTI LABELLE MAC AND CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with butter.
• Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil with the sea salt and oil. Add the noodles and cook for 7 minutes. Drain and cool the pasta.

Add the mild Cheddar, sharp Cheddar, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, muenster, pepper Jack and provolone, and mix thoroughly. Make sure the cheese is evenly mixed into the noodles. Transfer the noodles to the prepared casserole dish.
