Answer:

I do remember that recipe - it shoudn't be too hard to copy.I know it had mustard, white sauce and 4 cheeses in it.very tasty!
The other recipes gave you the cheesy sauce that's mixed with the pastaI make mine in layers, with a white sauce (made from a roux) over the topI make a small package of macaroni elbow pastaMeanwhile, make a roux with about 1 stick of butter and 2 TBof flour; whisking with a wire whiskThen, gradually add 2 to 2-1/2 cof milk to it and keep whisking until it's thickenedI add salt, pepper, Tony Chachere's Creole SeasoningFinely chop about 1/2 onion, and 1/2 each red green bell pepper, and some fresh cilantro, basil oregano, or parsleyLayer a greased casserole dish with 2-3 layers of the following (this order): cooked pasta; veggies; grated cheese (I like mozzarella or provolone, but you could use cheddar or American)On top of the top layer, pour the white sauce over it all and smooth over the topDot with butter (you could also sprinkle some cornflake crumbs or bread crumbs on top)Bake at 375 for about 35-45 min, or until it bubbles
Sandpaper won't do ityou're aluminum has a coating of Aluminum oxide which is super durable stuff! maybe try a diamond wheel, but that's a lot of effort for a little bit of Al.
