What's better than mac and cheese? Mac and three cheeses, perhaps. Ready in just 35 minutes, this recipe makes a weeknight dinner that the whole family will love.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees C.
- In large pot filled with water add 3 pinches of salt and the macaroni and place over high heat. Bring to a boil and let cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter. Sprinkle flour over butter and cook 2 to 3 minutes on medium heat, whisking until a roux or paste forms. Add cold milk and whisk vigorously until dissolved. Cook sauce on medium-low heat until thick and bubbly.
- Add heavy cream, all cheeses, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper. Cook until cheeses are fully melted, stirring occasionally.
- Add cooked macaroni to cheese mixture and mix thoroughly. Place macaroni mixture in a 13 by 9 baking dish and top with bread crumbs.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Top with fresh parsley and serve.
Chef's Tip:
For variations, add cooked lobster meat, truffle oil, bacon and/or garden fresh vegetables.
