1 cup tubular pasta (ziti, penne, elbos etc.) 1 package Kraft Deluxce Macaroni and Cheese 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 1/2 cups milk 3/4 cup sour cream 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs -- optional Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a 2-quart casserole or baking dish. Cook tubular pasta plus the elbows from the Kraft's package in boiling salted water with olive oil* added until al dente; drain and rinse* with hot tap water and drain again thoroughly. Transfer drarined pasta to a large mixing bowl. Add the contents of Kraft's cheese packet; mix well. Stir in milk, sour cream and Tabasco; mix well. Pour mixture into prepared casserole; sprinkle with cheese, and then breadcrumbs if using. Bake 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbling. * Normally, I don't add olive oil to pasta water, nor do I normally rinse it after cooking; however, in this case, these steps prevent the finished dish from getting really gummy.
