This recipe is based on the boxed mac ‘n’ cheese Ree loved as a child, something she would prepare herself. One day, she added spaghetti to the sauce instead of macaroni, and loved it so much that she never looked back. This homemade version also has a crispy panko breadcrumb topping, for an extra layer of deliciousness.

I’m making it tonight. Going to add some cooked shredded chicken and some chopped sautéed onions. Going to give it 4 stars because it sounds good and I like most all things she cooks.
