Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole-wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, whisking constantly to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the Dakin Dairy milk until smooth. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    Remove the pot from heat and add the farmhouse three-cheese blend, stirring until fully melted and combined. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and mustard powder to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Fold the cooked pasta into the cheese sauce until well coated.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Topping

    In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with a little melted butter (optional) for extra crunch. Sprinkle evenly over the mac and cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy mac and cheese!
