Preparation
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add 1 cup of elbow macaroni and a pinch of salt. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Mix the Cheese
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 0.5 cups of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
Cooking
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Form Bites
Using your hands, form small bite-sized balls or patties from the macaroni mixture and place them on a greased baking sheet. Leave some space between each bite.
Bake
Drizzle or spray olive oil over the bites for a crispy texture. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Cool and Serve
Remove the cheesy macaroni bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy, crispy bites!
