Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • Freshly ground white pepper
  • 1/2 pound crumbled blue cheese (recommended: Maytag)
  • 2 egg yolks, beaten
  • Dash hot sauce (recommended: Crystal)
  • Salt
  • 1 pound small pasta shells, cooked until al dente
  • 1 cup fine dried bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a large shallow baking pan with 1 teaspoon of the butter.

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, 1/2 cup at a time. Season with white pepper. Cook, stirring constantly for 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheese and egg yolks. Season with the hot sauce and salt if needed.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the pasta with the sauce. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. In a small mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Sprinkle the pasta with the bread crumbs. Bake until the top is golden and bubbly, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

    If you are the sort of person who always finds blue cheese dressing far too under-cheesy, then this blue cheese mac & cheese is a must-try: it's unique, tangy, salty, and delicious. (I did replace the bread crumbs with panko and used black pepper instead of white because cracked black pepper is so good with pungent blue cheese. Of course, it's overwhelming if you are not a blue cheese fan. But that should be somewhat obvious.

    I tried this with a bit of cheddar, and the bleu cheese flavor mixed really well. Also, this recipe is obviously not for someone who does not like the flavor of bleu cheese to begin with. Judging by the earlier comments, there was (somehow some confusion about that. People these days...
