BAKED MAC N CHEESE
Taken from GQ Magazine, this is Barefoot Contessa's Jeffrey-approved recipe for baked mac-n-cheese. All I had to purchase for this was the gruyere cheese, so I went for it. It's rich and filling, and i recommend a nice smoky gruyere. I used vine tomatoes, which gave it a bit of acidity the dish would otherwise be missing.
