Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it forms a paste. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cheeses

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined.

  5. 5

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish and top with breadcrumbs.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
