Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole grain elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Make the Cheese Sauce
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 2 minutes until golden, stirring constantly to create a roux.

Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle simmer, about 5-7 minutes.

Incorporate Cheeses
Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and cream cheese to the saucepan. Stir until both cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
