Article: Real macaroni, cheese transcends the trends

The novelty of nouvelle this and nouvelle that aside, it's hard to beat those wonderful comfort foods we grew up with.

Take macaroni and cheese. And no, I'm not talking about the boxed stuff with the skinny tube macaroni and orange powder, although in my college days I was known to make many a meal of it.

I'm talking real macaroni and cheese: cooked noodles with a simple but heartwarming sauce of sharp Cheddar, milk or cream, and butter. It can be served gooey, straight from the pot, or baked until it's chewy and crusty.

Macaroni and cheese for the '80s can be made with an assortment of pastas - wheels, corkscrews and shells - in different colors.
