Has anyone found this recipe yet? Thanks.

I called customer service and they couldn't find the recipe. I then did a live chat and she couldn't find the recipe. I have no idea where you find it and I could only hear that it was Carol's Mac and cheese and couldn't make out the last name.

Please post if you find it or email me lkrimstein@yahoo.com

I heard Mimi said it was on Leslies Blog and sent it over to Mary. This is most frustrating to get a Recipe. I have been trying to get this for sometime now!

It's on Mary's FB page.

We found it! Here's the Italian Mac & Cheese recipe from yesterday's show:

2 # of penne or rigatoni
Boil to aldente, rinse, reserve.

...

3 c. heavy cream
6 c. alfredo sauce, either homemade or store bought, reserving 1 cup

1 c. orange cheddar, shredded
1 c. white cheddar, shredded
1 c. fontina, shredded
1 c. mozzerella, shredded
1 c. gruyere, shredded
salt and pepper to taste

16 slices imported provolone

Mix half the cream, sauce and shredded cheeses together with half the pasta, place in oven baker, unbuttered.
Layer on 8 slices of the provolone
Mix the other half of cream, sauce and shredded cheese with remaining pasta, pour on top of first pasta and provolone layer.
Pour reserved 1 cup alfredo sauce.
Layer on 8 slices of provolone
Cover in foil, bake at 325 degree oven for 30 minutes
Remove foil and broil for about 5 minutes until golden brown.

Thank you, Nightowlz, I'd been looking for this recipe, too.

Sounds heavenly - definitely for special occasions!

I can't imagine eating a dish with so much cheese, cream, and fat. Not appetizing at all.

I don't think anyone doesn't realize this is a special occasion dish! We are all smart enough not to eat dishes like this daily! Clearly NOT low cal but then again....very few Mac & Cheese recipes are! I think the combo of all the different types of cheese sounds delicious!

I appreciate you posting it Nightowlz and OP for asking and would love to try it!

And you were expecting a low fat, low cheese dish when you opened a thread about mac & cheese???

Mmmmmmm, interesting!

I personally think this is quite possibly the most delicious recipe I have ever seen . . . M&C meets lasagna meets dairy heaven!

Clearly not for everyday but I will definitely make this at least once.

This year.

Perhaps you didn't notice the recipe calls for 2 pounds of pasta, and therefore would feed a boatload of people. The cheese and fat would be spread among many, not concentrated in a few, stomachs.
