When I SAY Mac 'n Cheese, no matter how many delicious variations I make... I still first see the box of Kraft Dinner with the day-glo yellow noodles. That said, I get over it very quickly.The second thing that I think of is short pasta with a very creamy sauce, like the Spicy Mac 'n Cheese above that I recently wrote about and is my new favorite...at least until I find my next favorite.
And typically I think JUST creamy and cheesy, but what about adding veggies like this Baked Ziti with Cauliflower, which doesn't just taste great, it's a particularly easy way to disguise vegetables from those finicky eaters. 
And who says we have to stick to short pasta anyway? I love long strands with delicious creamy cheeses clinging to them. like this Mascarpone, Herb & Lemon Pasta.Please check out my post on Presto Pasta Night where I'm spotlighting my favorite magazines and their pasta recipes. This week's star...fine Cooking has a ton of Mac 'n Cheese dishes to choose from.

Mac n Cheese = Ultimate comfort
I love homemade mac and cheese. Taste of home had a few recipes in there that I want to try. I will have to go back and look at your recipes they sound delicious.
So much to choose from Ruth.
