Pasta Preparation

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cheese Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Roux

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbling and golden.

  2. 3

    Add Milk

    Slowly add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer.

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and mustard powder. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

    Optional Topping

    If using, in a small bowl, mix together the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over the mac and cheese.

  3. 7

    Bake (optional)

    For a crispy topping, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
