Mind Control Noodles
Affects: 4-6 targets

2 1/2 cup Dwarven Pipe Noodles
5 cups Ram’s Milk
1 whole roasted Winternut Squash, skin removed
1/2 Amber Onion, finely diced
24 oz. Sharp Freemarch Cheddar, shredded
1 Cockatrice Egg
3 tablespoons Flour
4 tablespoons Ram’s Butter
1 teaspoon Ground Mustard Seed
1 teaspoon Dwarven Paprika
Fresh ground black pepper

Topping:
3/4 cup Shi-Ming Bread Crumbs
6 tablespoons Ram’s Butter, melted

Method:
Preheat a stone oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a metal pot, add the flour and the ground mustard and combine. Let that start bubbling. Puree the squash in the milk and make sure there are 5 total cups of liquid combined and add that to the pot. Add the onion and the paprika to the pot. Let that heat up over medium high heat for about 5 to 10 minutes so it’s hot enough to melt the cheese. Temper in the egg and add all but 6 oz. of the cheese. Stir the cheese mixture until it all melts into a sauce. Add ground pepper to taste.
Cook the noodles but make sure to leave them slightly underdone or they will be mushy later and the spell will not work. Drain the noodles and pour it into a 3 qt. stoneware baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over the noodles a little at a time, stopping to mix everything together. Typically, this takes about 3 stages of pouring. Sprinkle remaining 6 oz. of cheese on top.

To make the topping, melt the butter in a smaller pot and then use it to coat the bread crumbs. Spread the buttery crumbs so they cover the whole casserole.

Bake for 25 minutes and let rest for 10 minutes before serving to your intended targets.

Effect:
When consumed, the target will immediately fall under the sway of the caster. They will also be left with the lingering effect of craving more of these noodles in the future.
