Joan's on Third macaroni and cheese
- Share via
Dear SOS: We frequently enjoy the food at Joan’s on Third. My 7-year-old son especially loves the macaroni and cheese, as do I. Could you convince them to share the recipe?

Dear Ruth: This playfully traditional and exceptionally good version of the old-time favorite uses four types of cheese, each with its unique texture and flavor.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender. Drain well.
Return the pasta to the pot and add the butter, milk, ricotta, cream cheese, Jack cheese and 3 cups of the Gouda. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix gently, leaving some chunks of cheese visible.
Spoon into a 9-by- 13-inch glass baking dish. Top with the remaining 2 cups Gouda. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, until golden. Serve hot or at room temperature.
