Gergana we like! We have not eaten so tasty pasta :) And although I did not use the siren out of you in the recipe (I put melted smoked cheese and white cheese), the result is incredible. Tomatoes have given great freshness of pasta and those crumbs ... scented lightly toasted bread and crunchy crust that made ... :) In a nutshell ate them with great pleasure!

Reni, very glad that you enjoyed the pasta! Tomatoes are really good addition to the standard Mac and Cheese. For cheeses: cheddar must give taste and Gruyere is mainly for texture. It seems to me that your combination meets the requirements very well!
