Well, after trying your delicious Recipe #342026 recipe we decided to make this the next day. I used penne pasta and made it all up in the morning to have for dinner. I heated it in a 350F. oven for 40 minutes and it was perfect. The rye got nice and toasty. We served it with Thousand Island dressing. I halved the recipe and we still got 6 servings. It makes a lot. Next time we would double the cheese sauce. :)
