A comforting and creamy macaroni and cheese recipe that delights with rich flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Breadcrumbs, to taste
  • Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the elbow macaroni and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside, drizzling with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Create the Roux: In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Add the Milk: Slowly pour in the whole milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Mix in the Cheeses: Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked macaroni, stirring gently to coat evenly with the cheese sauce.
  6. Optional Baking: Transfer to a baking dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk for creaminess.
