Italian Mac & Cheese

My BFF, Sunny, was coming for dinner with her husband and I was making pork tenderloin with blueberry balsamic sauce, but what to serve as a side dish? She adores Mac & Cheese, so I wanted to serve what she loves. Not being a big fan of traditional mac & cheese, I searched for a recipe that would make us both happy. The two cheeses are main-stays in my refrigerator, so I used them to make it "Italian". It's the perfect combination and a winner!
