Baked macaroni and brie recipe in the pasta category

: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a medium casserole dish or 4 individual 2-cup dishes and set aside. Boil pasta to al dente. Drain. While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring continuously for 2 minutes, to form a golden brown roux. Stir in milk and cream. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously, then reduce heat to low. Add cheese and continue to stir until melted and smooth. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss in drained pasta. Combine very well, making sure the sauce soaks the pasta thoroughly. Pour into buttered dishes. Stir together bread or cracker crumbs with 3 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over dishes. Bake 15 minutes.
