This is so yummy - it was adapted from a Food NetWork Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
• Kosher salt
• 8 ounces elbow macaroni
• 2 cups half and half
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• Freshly ground pepper
• 2 tsp. Gramma Hazel's signature spice
• 1 small mild onion, chopped finely - optional
• 8 ounces cheddar cheese, cut in very small chunks or grated
• 4 ounces provolone cheese, cut in very small chunks or grated
• 4 ounces smoked gouda cheese, cut in very small chunks or grated
• 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut in very small chunks or grated
• Fresh parsley, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to label directions for al dente. Drain and transfer to a medium bowl; add the butter and toss until melted.

2. Whisk the half and half, eggs, paprika, pepper and Gramma Hazel's. Add the cheeses, pasta and onion; toss.

3. Spray a shallow baking dish with spray to prevent sticking; transfer the pasta and cheese mixture to same. Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes until bubbling and no longer jiggly, in a preheated oven. Let sit 10 minutes before slicing.

Note: I prepared early and refrigerated, until dinner time.
