CLASSIC BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE
Think Stouffer's without the freezer. While it can be enjoyed straight from the pot, this macaroni and cheese has a slightly looser sauce than the stovetop variety to allow for thickening in the oven. Bread crumbs, while optional, make it truly spectacular.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until it's barely al dente. (It should be more al dente than your average pasta: It's going to continue to cook in the oven.) Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat butter in a medium pot over medium heat. (The pot should be large enough to hold all the pasta when cooked.) Whisk in flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the flour is foamy and just starting to turn a light golden brown, about 4 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk to avoid clumping. Add garlic, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly and paying special attention to the edges of the pot to make sure the flour mixture is totally incorporated.
- Add grated cheese and whisk to blend until the cheese is completely melted. (The sauce will seem thick at first and thin out as the cheese melts; it will thicken while it bakes.) Season with salt and pepper and add cooked pasta, stirring to coat well.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil (to catch any cheesy drips).
- Make the optional topping: Combine bread crumbs, melted butter and Parmesan, if using, in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and, using your hands, mix well to ensure the bread crumbs are evenly coated.
- Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture to a 3-quart or 9 x 13 baking dish and scatter bread crumbs, if using, evenly over the top. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake until macaroni and cheese is bubbling, thickened and creamy, and bread crumbs are evenly golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

- Make the béchamel: Warm the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat and set aside. In a separate saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil and as soon as it starts to sizzle a little, add the flour. Whisk continuously for 3 – 5 minutes to form a roux, do not brown the flour. Slowly add the warm milk, whisking all the while. Continue to whisk the béchamel until it thickens but is still liquid. It should be the consistency of pancake batter.
- Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour in the egg in a fast, steady stream, whisking vigorously. Stir in the grated cheese. Set the béchamel aside, covered with a kitchen towel.
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook until al dente. Drain immediately and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Coat a 9 x 13 casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and a teaspoon of olive oil over medium low heat until the butter melts. Add the onions and leeks and stir to coat in the butter mixture. Turn the heat to low and allow to cook for one hour, stirring every ten minutes, until golden brown in color. The vegetables should just barely sizzle as they cook. If they are browning too quickly lower the heat as much as possible and if they don't seem like they're cooking at all raise the heat by small increments until they begin to do so. Once they are done remove from the heat and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cut the top quarter off the head of garlic. Drizzle the other teaspoon of olive oil over the top and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. Place in the oven and allow it to roast for 30 minutes. Remove and allow it to cool before squeezing the garlic out of the papery peel.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the rigatoni according to the package's directions. Once done cooking, drain, drizzle with olive oil, and shake the colander to keep the noodles from sticking together.
