Preparation

Cooking Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni 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. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add the Cheeses

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Fontina, and crumbled Gorgonzola. Mix until all the cheese is melted and smooth. Add the grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until combined.

4. Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked elbow macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until the pasta is well coated.

5. Optional Topping

If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of the mac and cheese for a crunchy texture.

6. Bake

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

7. Serve

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your five cheese mac!
