Cheese and Pasta

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Cook the Pasta

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2

Make the Cheese Sauce

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

3

Add Milk and Seasonings

Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Add salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

4

Incorporate the Cheeses

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar, Swiss, provolone, mozzarella, smoked Gouda, and crumbled goat cheese until fully melted and well combined.

5

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring to combine evenly. If desired, transfer to a baking dish.

6

Add Breadcrumb Topping (optional)

If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the mac and cheese.

7

Bake (optional)

If you added breadcrumbs, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. If not baking, simply serve warm.
