Mac and cheese muffins

Or cupcakes, as Oli called them.

What I had:

• Ronzoni small elbow macaroni, entire box cooked al dente
• 3 oz shredded gruyere cheese
• 3 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
• 16 oz cut spinach (I used frozen, defrosted and drained)
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp all purpose flour
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1 egg + 1 egg white
• Salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder

What I did:

• Melted the butter over medium heat in a medium sauce pan
• Added the flour and whisked it fast to avoid clumping
• Poured the milk and garlic in, continuously whisking
• Brought it to a boil and added both cheeses, mixing till its a creamy cheese sauce
• Mixed the pasta, spinach and cheese sauce in a large bowl till everything is covered in cheese
• Poured heaping spoonfuls into a greased muffin pan
• Baked at 400 for 15 minutes
• Let sit for 5 minutes before taking the muffins out

Next time, I would add more cheese. I think I used more pasta than the original recipe did here.
