Cooking Pasta
1. Cook the macaroni
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Making Cheese Sauce
2. Prepare the cheese sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
3. Add cheeses
Reduce the heat to low, and add the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, diced pimentos, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is smooth.
Combining and Baking
4. Mix pasta and sauce
Combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce, mixing well to coat the pasta evenly.
5. Prepare topping
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the macaroni and cheese.
6. Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
