Copycat Costco R Deli Mac And Cheese

---

Costco's mac and cheese that they sell in their deli section is so yummy, but they only sell it at a certain time of the year. i wanted to try to figure the recipe out so that when they don't have it, i can still make it myself. this recipe is what i came up with. It is very decadent and not low-cal. Lol

Steps

---

Cook cavatappi pasta according to package directions so it is al dente , drain , add 1 tbsp of butter while still hot , and mix through.

---

Set aside to cool mostly.

---

In a large sauce pan , melt butter into cream over low heat.

---

Add garlic salt and pepper to taste.

---

Stir in the pecorino romano and parmesan cheese over medium heat until melted.

---

This will thicken the sauce.

---

Remove from heat and allow to cool mostly.

---

Once both noodles and sauce are just slightly warm , stir the sauce into the noodles.

---

Add 3 cups of cheddar cheese and mix.

---

Smooth into a 13x9x2 baking dish.

---

Sprinkle top with the remaining cup of cheddar cheese.

---

Bake at 350 degrees f for 30 minutes or until top starts to brown slightly.
