Mac & Cheese Spoons
This all-American comfort food is not just for the kids anymore. My inspiration for this recipe was from my friend Betty's Aunt Helen. It is always a huge hit.
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs Pasta (Elbows are traditional but mini shells or gemelli pasta is perfect or really any shape you like. You will want to make lots - it freezes well and reheats great.)

- 2 cloves Minced Garlic
- ½ cup Flour
- ½ cup White Wine
- 1 qt Heavy Cream

- ½ tsp Pepper

- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Diced American Cheese
- ½ cup Shredded Colby Cheese
- 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
- ¼ cup Breadcrumbs
Instructions

- Add Flour and cook 3 minutes.
- Add White Wine and cook 3 minutes.
- Add Heavy Cream, Salt, Pepper and Hot Sauce.
