-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 3/4 cups small elbow macaroni
1 1/4 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese (5 oz) -- cubed
2 2/3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/3 cups half and half
1 1/3 cups whipping cream
2/3 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/4 cups packed extra-sharp cheese (5 oz) -- grated

Preheat oven to 350=B0. Lightly butter 9x13x2-inch glass baking dish. Cook
macaroni in large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender but
still firm to bite. Drain pasta. Transfer to prepared dish. Mix in cubed
cheese.
Whisk flour, salt, mustard, black pepper, cayenne pepper and nutmeg in
medium bowl until no lumps remain. Gradually whisk in half and half, then
whipping cream and sour cream. Add eggs and Worcestershire sauce; whisk to
blend. Pour over macaroni mixture; stir to blend. Sprinkle grated cheese
over.
Bake macaroni and cheese until just set around edges but sauce is still
liquid in center, about 25 mins. Remove from oven; let stand 10 mins to
thicken slightly (sauce will be creamy).
Makes 10-12 side-dish servings. About 4 as main course.
