Steps:

• Cook pasta until al dente in a large pot of boiling salted water. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to form a smooth paste. Cook for about 2 minutes, being careful not to brown. Gradually add the milk and the half-and-half and simmer until thickened slightly, stirring all the while. Remove from the heat. Stir in the 3 cheeses and season with black pepper, to taste. Add the cooked pasta and mix into the cheese sauce thoroughly.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the Classic Mac and Cheese:
• 1 cup coarse bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Salt
• Pour half of the mac and cheese into an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl toss the bread crumbs together with the melted butter, parsley, and salt, to taste. Top the mac and cheese with the bread crumb mixture and bake 15 minutes or until the topping has nicely browned and pasta is bubbly and creamy.
• For the Chili Mac and Cheese:
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• A few dashes dried red chili flakes
• 1 cup crushed yellow corn chips
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 small lime, zested
• Stir the chili powder and chili flakes into half of the mac and cheese base. Pour into an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl combine the crushed corn chips together with the oil and the lime zest. Top the mac and cheese with the corn chip mixture and bake 15 minutes or until the topping has nicely browned and pasta is bubbly and creamy.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Melt the butter in the same pot over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, mustard powder and paprika; cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and slightly darker, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and continue to cook, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and comes to a simmer, 7 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the cheddar, American cheese and cream cheese until melted and remove from heat.
• Add the pasta to the sauce; toss, adding some reserved cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare rigatoni noodles according to package directions, but add a good bit of salt to the water. Once cooked, drain but do not rinse the pasta.
• Transfer pasta to a large mixing bowl. Add half the cheddar, monterey jack and parmesan cheeses, as well as the heavy cream. Stir well to combine, season with pepper to taste.
• Transfer the mixture to a 9"x13" casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheeses on top and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Return drained pasta to the pot. Mix in processed cheese, Cheddar cheese, and cream. Stir until cheeses melt. Sprinkle with salt.

Steps:

• Cook pasta till al dente. Drain and set aside. In a pan slowly heat 1 cup milk, cheese, pepper and butter. In a small mixing bowl whisk remaining 1/2 cup milk with flour. Stir flour mixture into cheese mixture. Stir constantly until mixture thickens.
• Pour over pasta, stir and serve!
• Note: Not sure if all pasta machines make the same amout per batch but Dave uses 1/2 batch for this. It equals to about 3/4 lb fresh pasta.
