Here is my latest go at a Rachael Ray Mac and Cheese. I will say I think this might win the prize for my favorite non spicy mac and cheese. I really liked all of the flavors here, I liked using the Italian 4 cheese over the cheddar. It was all just so wonderful. I love that there are tomatoes in this recipe, it just makes it that much tastier! The baby liked it, he ate a whole little bowl full of it, he’s never going to want mac and cheese from the box, oh well, this is actually much better for you. Well, as good as mac and cheese can get for you. I know I could do things like leave out heavy cream and use wheat pasta to make it healthier, but we’re not going for the healthiest mac and cheese, just the best!

Recipe: Italian Style Mac and Cheese

Italian Style Mac and Cheese

Cookbook: Get Together

Total Time: 35 minutes

Husband Says: “It was pretty good. Like a hamburger helper type dish.”

Notes: I did not use mushrooms in this one, I just don’t like them. I guess I could pick them out, but I thought it was just fine without them. I also can not find sweet sausage at the store, so I just used plain sausage. I thought it tasted just fine. I would say I think this mac and cheese is “Italian” just because you blend Italian cheese in it, you won’t find something like this in Italy!
