Arieanna’s Mac and Cheese

2-4 cups pasta of your choice (macaroni, shells, etc)
2 cups grated cheese (use 2 varieties - I use swiss or gruyere with aged cheddar)
1 1/2 cups milk
1/6 cup flour
2 tbsp sour cream and/or ricotta (optional - to add flavour and creaminess)
3 tbsp breadcrumbs
2 tbsp grated parmesan
large dash nutmeg (freshly grated)
dash paprika
dash powdered mustard or real dijon
pinch cayenne
salt & pepper to taste

1. cook & drain pasta.
2. set oven to 375F
3. in a small pot on medium heat, warm milk. When warm, gradually whisk in flour and stir until thick.
4. Remove milk from heat. Add 3/4 of the cheese (not the parmesan), the sour cream/ricotta, and all spices. Stir to mix well.
5. Put pasta and sauce into a 9×13 dish. Mix well. Top with the extra cheese, parmesan, and breadcrumbs.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, then broil until nice and brown.
