Mac 'n' Cheese

Last Weeks Denver Dinner Post
(Sorry I'm a bit behind:-)

1 lb pasta
2 tbl butter
1 tbl olive oil
3 tbl flour
1.5 cups milk
1-2 cups sharp Cheddar
1-2 cups spicy jack
1/4 - 1/2 pkg cream cheese
S&P to taste

Boil Pasta per package instructions
Make a basic rue in the pan with oil, butter and flour. Allow flour to cook a minute before adding milk slowly, whisking as you add.
Allow sauce to thicken while pasta is cooking.
Drain pasta and set aside (do not rinse)
Add cheese to rue starting with cream cheese (as it is the thickest), then stir in remaining cheddar and jack using a figure eight or S stirring pattern to prevent clumps. Sauce should be thick and cheesy.
Add pasta and stir to coat. .
Serve hot off the stove ...or... pour mac 'n' cheese into a casserole dish, add breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese to the top and bake at 350 until top is golden and crispy.
