The ingredients for Macaroni and Three Cheeses are:

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound Barilla Plus Penne
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
4 cups 2% milk
4 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, grated (1 cup)
4 ounces Havarti cheese, coarsely grated (1 cup)
4 ounces Muenster cheese, coarsely grated (1 cup)

6 slices wheat sandwich bread

Here is how you make Macaroni and Three Cheeses:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Butter a shallow 4-quart baking dish (oval or 9-by-13-inch rectangle); set aside. 2. Generously salt boiling water; add pasta. Cook, according to package instructions, until 2 minutes short of al dente. Drain pasta, and return to pot. 3. While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium. Transfer 2 tablespoons melted butter to a small bowl; set aside for topping. Add flour and mustard powder to remaining butter in saucepan. Cook, whisking, 1 minute (do not let flour darken). Whisk in milk. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. 4. Remove sauce from heat. Gradually whisk in cheeses; add Worcestershire sauce, and season generously with salt and pepper. Add sauce to pasta, and toss to combine; transfer to prepared baking dish. 5. Place bread in food processor; pulse until very coarse crumbs form (you should have about 3 cups). Add reserved melted butter, and pulse just to moisten. Scatter crumbs over pasta in baking dish. (If making ahead, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.) 6. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until topping is golden and sauce is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. (If refrigerated, bake for 30 to 35 minutes.) Cool 5 minutes before serving.The original recipe called for white bread. I also frequently used pre-packaged Italian-spiced breadcrumbs (like Progresso) if I don't want to take the time to process my own. It works fine.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user GOLDILOCKSPRIME.
