How to Make Greek Cheese And Macaroni

Boil 1 pound of rigatoni pasta for 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain.
In a large saucepan, whisk together 3 cups of milk and 1 cup of heavy cream.
Set aside 1 cup of the milk and cream mixture.
In the same saucepan, pour in the remaining milk and cream mixture.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 4 tablespoons of butter.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the sauce slightly thickens.
Add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce and stir gently to coat.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Spread half of the rigatoni mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the first layer.
Add the remaining rigatoni mixture on top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top layer.
Pour the reserved 1 cup of milk and cream mixture evenly over the casserole.
Do not stir.
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
