This quarter’s votes didn’t take much tabulating - it was BAKED PASTAS by a mile for Dish of the Quarter. Can’t wait to see your cheesiest, creamiest, most rib-sticking winter favorites.
I’ll start with a brief review of my dinner last night - Baked Buffalo Mac and Cheese with bacon from Domino’s Pizza. It was about as good as you’d expect such a thing to be (i.e. not that good), but acceptable for a quick and cheap takeout meal. They use ziti (not my favorite noodle) in a not-very-cheesy sauce but with a generous drizzle of Frank’s Red Hot on top, so the predominant flavor was Red Hot. Not bad, just not very balanced.

Goat Gouda, old cheddar and gorgonzola mac and cheese.
I used 1 1/3 cup of grated cheddar, ~1/3 cup of grated goat Gouda and ~1/3 cup chopped gorgonzola , added to a white sauce made from 2 cups 2 percent milk, 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp flour. Heavy pinch of nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ground dry mustard and 1/4 tsp cayenne.
I cooked 1 1/2 cups of elbow macaroni to use with this amount of sauce. 2 cups dry macaroni: 2 cups milk would also work. I have liked it heavier on the sauce lately. This amount fills most of 9 inch square dish.
Bread crumbs on top to cover.
Baked at 350 for around 40 min.
