Syndy's Commentary:

I used the corkscrew pasta, but you can use any kind. My kids are just better at eating noodles if they look cool. I also set aside a little of the cheddar and sprinkled it on top before baking.

I got this recipe from my mom who got it from my Sister-in-laws mother. My kids and hubby devoured this recipe. I've tried other homemade mac and cheese recipes in the past and no one would eat it. My pickiest eater even asked for seconds! Chris took some leftovers for lunch and said it was great. So it's a keeper at our house. Enjoy!
