My thoughts:
When the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board approached me well-nigh developing a recipe using a Wisconsin cheese to portion on their novel Macaroni & Cheese Blog, I couldn't enjoin no. It had been only likewise long since I made mac & cheese. I decided to role fresh asagio because it has long been a favorite. While I've had lobster macaroni together with cheese before, I've never had crab. Being a Baltimore girl, this but seemed wrong. I had to brand a crab macaroni together with cheese together with asagio seemed similar the perfect cheese to dyad it with, mild plenty that it wouldn't overpower the crab but distinctly flavored together with most importantly, it melts well. Adding smoked paprika together with mustard gave it around seize amongst teeth together with blended seamlessly into the unproblematic cheese sauce. It ended upwardly beingness a rattling slowly but elegant macaroni together with cheese. Fancy plenty for society but quick plenty for a weeknight.
