MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drizzle oil into a large pot of boiling salted water. Add the macaroni and cook according to the directions on the package, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan, but don't boil it. Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a large (4-quart) pot and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. While whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or two more, until thickened and smooth. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and stir well. Pour into a 3-quart baking dish.
• Slice the tomatoes and arrange on top. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, combine them with the fresh bread crumbs, and sprinkle on the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on the top.

RAMAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Remove and reserve 2 tbsp (1 oz) grated cheese.
• Toss remaining cheese and cornstarch until well coated. Transfer to a saucepan. Add most of the evaporated milk (reserve about 1 tablespoon) and the hot sauce. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until melted, bubbly and thickened, about 5 minutes. (Sauce will look thin and grainy at first, but will smooth out and thicken as it cooks.) Thin to desired consistency with reserved evaporated milk.
• Prepare ramen according to package directions, discarding seasoning packet. When noodles are tender, drain and toss with cheese sauce. Transfer to an oven-safe dish, top with reserved grated cheese and broil until cheese is melted and bubbly.
