Ingredients
Pasta and Cheese
Cooking Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Cheese Sauce
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, whisking constantly, until lightly golden.
3. Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Incorporate Cheese
Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until evenly coated.
6. Optional Breadcrumb Topping
If using, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish, top with breadcrumbs, and bake for 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
