As a non-American, how much pasta goes with all that cheese? And how many serves do you get out of it?

    Generally I use 1 pound of dry pasta (I prefer shells to macaroni) per 2 pounds of cheese. Four pounds makes a casserole dish that is 12"×8"×4" or 12-16 servings

    Ok, thanks! I tried to make mac and cheese twice, years ago, and they came out pretty good, but even though I don't remember the recipes I'm certain I went shorter on the cheese (it was 4-5 servings, not even close to a whole pound), shame on me. Next time I'm also trying with the citrate, I've been wanting to use it for some cheese sauces for quite a while but it's not something they sell at any store here and I always remember when I'm about to cook. Also, what cheese(s) do you use?

    I personally use 1.5 lbs ofCuba NY Extra Sharp White Cheddar, 1 lb of mozzarella, 1 lb of Gruyere, and .5 lbs of smoked Gouda.

    Swap the Gouda for a nice buttery Parmesan if you have $$$

    You could also swap the gruyere out for Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack.

    But the cheese in blocks and shred in a food processor. It's cheaper that way.
