Cooking Instructions

Prepare 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.

Make the Cheese Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the smoked olive oil. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until golden.

Add Milk and Cheese

Gradually whisk in the milk and continue to stir until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce and chopped chives. Mix well to coat the pasta evenly.

Bake the Macaroni & Cheese

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly on top.

Final Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
