Directions
Italian Homestyle Macaroni and Cheese, This is an easy recipe that my great-Aunt Damiana (Nellie)used to make for me when I was a little kid I found out that her mother used to make it for her family when SHE was a kid! So, this recipe is over 100 years old! The secret to this recipe is mixing the butter and cheese into the macaroni while it is still hot, thus some-what melting the cheese on contact with the macaroni Also, it is the Fontinella cheese that gives this recipe it’s unique taste , very good, very quick – the fontinella was a surprise, since I had never tried any before I bought it special for this recipe I saved 1 cup of the pasta water to add later when I warmed it up, made it nice and creamy , i love sloofy’s mac & cheese! 🙂 maybe i’m supposed to say that ’cause he’s my fiance, but it’s the truth! don’t believe me, try it yourself! i previously had only experienced traditional mac & cheese, which is much heavier and richer i love both, but honestly prefer this recipe, do to it’s flavor it’s super-duper yummy! 🙂
