Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cavatappi or elbow macaroni (approximately 1/2 lb or 1/2 standard box)
  • salt for pasta water
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 12 oz dark beer (or sub. 6 oz beer and 6 oz milk)
  • 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 3 cups sharp cheddar grated
  • 1 crown broccoli chopped into small pieces
  • 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)

Notes

For a more traditional baked mac and cheese: cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than the package suggests. Then pile the mac and cheese into a buttered baking dish and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes before serving.
