7 Cheese Macaroni Bake

Everyone knows that I love pasta and cheese. Put them together and they are even better! Nobody can resist this awesome macaroni and cheese bake, unless you dont like cheese!



You will need:
  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add macaroni noodles. Cook the noodles until tender--usually about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the excess water.

In a large bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, Swiss cheese, Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese and Provolone cheese. Set aside approximately 1/2 cup for topping. In another bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sour cream and heavy cream. Season with parsley, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.


Combine both cheese mixtures with noodles and mix. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top.


Bake until cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
