Two-Cheese Pasta and Tomatoes

This recipe, from Anne Lindsay's New Light Cooking, was rather disgusting according to everybody and I'm not sure if that is because it was more of a soup than pasta, or because I skipped some rather important ingredients. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. Should you be so brave to try it and succeed, I encourage you to post on what went wrong.

Ingredients:
8 oz macaroni
1 cup grated old Cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 Tbsp dried mustard
1 tsp dried tarragon
1/2 tsp each of salt, pepper and paprika
3 cups 1% milk
2 tomatoes chopped
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions: In a large pot of boiling water, cook macaroni for 10 minutes; drain. Meanwhile in a bowl, combine cheeses, onions, flour, mustard, tarragon, salt, pepper and paprika. In a large saucepan, heat milk until hot; add cheese mixture whisking constantly until well combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in macaroni; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Add parsley. Serve.

Changes: I used shells for noodles. I didn't use green onions, tarragon or tomatoes due to a dislike. I did go for the parsley because we had quite a lot on hand. I doubled the entire recipe because we had a lot of people.

  1. Once againnnn on my own post b/c it was the only one. This was gross. IF you try it, I suggest hardly any changes because I feel as if the catastrophe was due to my picky ingredients self.
