  I have a recipe that boasts a 1:1 cheese to pasta ratio.
  It works the best with a sharp cheddar, but I doubt it would suck with a different kind.
  It's also great as leftovers. Just add a splash of milk before microwaving it to revive it's creamy-ness.
  
  1/2 lb pasta
  3T butter
  2T flour
  1/4t dry mustard
  1t salt
  1/4t pepper
  2 cups milk
  1/2 lb cheese
  1/2 cup bread crumbs
  
  Cook pasta
  
  Meanwhile melt 2T of butter. Add flour and seasonings, stirring to keep smooth. Gradually add milk and cook until thickened. Add chese and cook until cheese is melted. Combine cheese sauce and pasta in a casserole dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and dot with remaining butter and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350 for 20-25 min.

  I made something like this https://www.bhg.com/recipe/butternut-squash-mac-and-cheese/ last week. Added aged cheddar in addition to the Gruyere. Also used my immersion blender on the squash mixture + onions. And didn't bake it. It was different than standard Mac and cheese but yummy.
