THREE-CHEESE MACARONI
This homemade version of the noodle favorite will make you forget about the boxed orange variety. A sauce made with three kinds of cheeses and a crunchy breadcrumb topping really separate this mac and cheese from its store-bought counterparts.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 10 mini (1 cup) pie plates or a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs, and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Warm milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Cook until butter is bubbling. Add flour. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Gradually pour warm milk into butter mixture, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture bubbles and thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in 3 cups cheddar, 1 cup Gruyere, 1 cup fontina, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, the nutmeg, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain, and transfer pasta to cheese sauce. Stir to coat. Divide mixture among mini pie plates or transfer to baking dish. Scatter remaining cup cheddar, 1/2 cup Gruyere, and 1/2 cup fontina over top, and sprinkle with toasted breadcrumbs. Bake until cheese is melted and pasta is warmed through, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

FONTINA & PARMESAN MAC AND CHEESE
There's something amazingly special about creamy, rich, melty, cheese. The kind that makes you smile upon entering your mouth, the kind that you dream about when you think about macaroni and cheese. The marriage between cheese {and not just any kind of cheese} and noodles in this dish is heaven. I am known as a macaroni and cheese freak but this recipe puts my love for this comfort-food-beauty on a whole new level. And not to mention this does not come from a box, there is no velveeta block involved...and it is not waste line conscious. Relish in the goodness of cheese my little foodies :) This recipe is adapted from my own macaroni and cheese trial-and-error and Annie's Eat's inspiration with Fontina cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to broil (high or low, depending on your oven intensity). Heat a large pot of water until boiling, add salt to boiling water until it's "salty like the sea". Cook the pasta till al dente, and drain.
- Melt 4-5 tablespoons of butter over medium low heat until melted and add heavy cream. Warm cream until heated through, do not boil the cream. Add the spices and seasonings to taste, but remember to not over salt as the parmesan cheese is slightly salted. Remove from heat and all of the fontina cheese and 1/2 cup parmesan, stir until combined.
- Pour the cheese sauce into the pasta and mix until well combined. Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter and mix with Panko, remaining Parmesan cheese, parsley, and a pinch of garlic salt if you'd like.
- Transfer pasta and cheese mixture to a baking dish, top with Panko mixture and broil until bubbly and toasty on top. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat and stir in the onion. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Raise the heat slightly and add the bell peppers. Cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add the zucchini and yellow squash and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Cook the pasta in a large kettle of boiling salted water for 4 minutes. Drain the pasta and rinse it with cold water.
- Heat the butter in a medium-size heavy saucepan over moderate to moderately high heat until it becomes a medium nutty brown, being careful not to burn it. Stir in the flour, rosemary, sage and bay leaf. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk and cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until sauce is very thick--the consistency of sour cream. Strain the sauce and season well with salt and pepper. Cool slightly.
- Return the pasta to the same large kettle and stir in the sauce. Add the vegetables and 1 cup grated fontina and blend completely. Place the mixture in a deep earthenware or glass baking dish (about 9 inches by 13 inches by 2 inches). Sprinkle with the remaining fontina. Bake for 20 minutes, until the pasta is brown and crunchy on top.
