Easy Eggplant Parmesan

Kraft recipe, using "1 pkg. (6 oz.) FRESH TAKE Rosemary & Roasted Garlic Recipe Cheese Breadcrumb Mix" 
http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/easy-eggplant-parmesan-136914.aspx

Three Cheese Mac'n Cheese
1/2 lb elbow macaroni
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
3 cups milk
6 oz sharp cheddar, shredded + 2 oz for topping
6 oz smoked mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 oz Gouda Cheese
2 oz cream cheese
salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Boil the pasta to al dente. The water, like all pasta water, should be salted before hand until it tastes like salt water.
While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and keep it moving for about two - five minutes until it smells nutty, do not burn. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, simmer, stirring constantly, until it starts to bubble. Turn down heat to medium. Stir in the cheese a little at a time, wait until the previous cheese is melted to add the next handful of cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
