Method
Directions
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Make the Cheese Sauce
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute until it forms a roux. Gradually pour in the whole milk while continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Prepare the Topping
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil until well combined. This will create a crispy topping.
Assemble and Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese mixture to a greased baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious smoked Gouda mac and cheese!
