Adult Mac and Cheese... Cheddar and Goat Cheese topped with Caramelized Shallots

We had the new pasta press cranked up again, once again we made fuscilli but this time we turned it in to two kinds of mac and cheese. The first one up is the adult version, cheddar, goat cheese, and shallots; not exactly kid friendly or date food....

Fresh Pasta about 2 C(you can use 2 C of cooked dried pasta instead)
2 Shallots, sliced thin
5 Tbs Butter
1 1/2 Tbs Flour
3 Tsp Hot Sauce (texas pete)
1 1/4 C Milk (whole)
2 C Shredded Extra sharp Cheddar
8 oz Goat Cheese, crumbled


Heat a small sauté pan to med and then add 2 Tbs butter. Once the butter melts and starts to bubble add the shallots. Toss shallots and lower the heat slightly, cook the shallots until they are translucent but not browned tossing occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400

In a large sauce pan add the remaining 3 Tbs of butter. Heat over med heat. Once the butter melts whisk in the flour. Continue whisking and cook for 1 min. Add the milk. Lower the heat and continue whisking. When the milk begins to steam add the cheddar cheese. Whisk occasionally as cheese melts. Remove from the heat and and combine with pasta. Dived mixture among oven safe soup bowls or in one large baking dish. Top with goat cheese and shallots. Bake for 20-25 min.

Enjoy
