Sobo Cafe Macaroni and Cheese image

This is the signature dish of a great little South Baltimore, MD eatery. My friends and I simply cannot eat there without sharing an enormous portion. It's not fancy, but man is it satisfying. NOTE that this recipe makes an very large quantity (12x17", 2-3 inches deep), so halving it might be a good idea.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs ziti pasta
1/2 lb unsalted butter
1 white onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup flour
4 cups whole milk
2 lbs sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
8 ounces cream cheese, chunked
1 cup breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Cook pasta al dente, drain.
  • Saute onions in butter until translucent. Add garlic and flour, lower heat to medium, and brown flour to color of brown egg.
  • Slowly pour in milk while stirring. Turn up heat and stir constantly until sauce turns thick; when it does, add half the cheddar, and the spices, tomato, pasta and cream cheese.
