My first attempt at homemade mac and cheese. So glad I found this recipe! I make this a few times a month now. I use corkscrews pasta and skip the oven step. It is great for left-overs too, heats up nicely in the microwave, perfect for my teenage son.

Definitely a better alternative to the box mac and cheese. I was surprised at how tasty and moist it was. I was nervous about the nutmeg, but it was a light flavor that brought out the taste of the cheese. Thanks Rach!

This was the recipe that got me making mac n' cheese a few years ago. It's a great basic recipe and you can make it your own easily. I really like the nutmeg - it really takes it up a notch. I use whatever cheese I have on hand & sometimes need a little extra because of that, but it's always a tasty treat. Tonight I'm combining the basic recipe here with Aarti Party's Thai Curry Mac n' Cheese for something different.

Excellent! I used 1/2 cup colby jack with 2 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese (it was what I had on hand and it was perfect, with a little zest. I did not add the nutmeg - didn't really think it was necessary and I was a little nervous since I would be serving a large group. Perfect comfort food!!

It was nothing like a mac and cheese. The sauce tasted of flour even though i followed the recipe to the T. Will try next time without the flour. Liked the nutmeg though.

Loved the recipe. However, I did have to make a couple of adjustments. I took out the nutmeg and added 1/2 a 16oz box of Velveeta. I felt the sauce needed a little something and the Velveeta worked out perfectly.

I liked it a lot, but my husband and kids were a little leery of the nutmeg and cayenne pepper. Next time I will try it with with only salt and pepper. Maybe add a few onions in with the rue for an extra kick.

I found this recipe excellent. I don't understand the review about tasting flour and olive oil - that really only happens if you don't cook the rue at all. For this recipe there isn't sufficient rue to cause this uncooked taste.

All I could taste was the flour and olive oil. I even used extra sharp cheese but it wasn't cheesy tasting at all. The texture was a bit pasty too. I followed the directions perfectly. Will not make again.
