Toppings

Method

Cook Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tsp of salt to the boiling water.

  2. 2

    Cook Macaroni

    Add 2 cups of macaroni pasta to the boiling water. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 7-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Drain Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the macaroni in a colander and set aside.

Make Cheese Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt Butter

    In the same pot used for the pasta, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Add Flour

    Once melted, whisk in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour until smooth and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.

  3. 6

    Add Milk

    Gradually pour in 2 cups of milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 7

    Add Cheeses and Spices

    Stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of cream cheese, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of onion powder, 1 tsp of paprika, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Mix until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Combine and Bake

  1. 8

    Mix Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until evenly coated.

  2. 9

    Prepare Baking Dish

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture into a baking dish.

  3. 10

    Add Toppings

    In a small bowl, mix together 0.5 cup of breadcrumbs and 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the macaroni and cheese.

  4. 11

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

  5. 12

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
