Best Macaroni And Cheese
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1/4 tsp dry mustard
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper or pepper blend
- 2 Cups milk
- 2 Cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 Cup grated fontina cheese
- 1/2 Cup Panko bread crumbs
- Grated Parmesan cheese for top
- 8 oz Whole wheat penne or elbow macaroni
- Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk to form a roux. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly, over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil and gradually add grated cheddar cheese until smooth and melted.
- Add the grated fontina and continue to whisk until melted. Meanwhile boil water for the pasta. After water has been brought to a full boil, add the pasta and cook for about 4 minutes. Drain the pasta and add the cheese mixture to the pasta. Place the pasta and cheese in a 13 x 9 pan and top with the panko bread crumbs and remaining grated cheese. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. Enjoy!
- Note: I have used other cheeses in the recipe such as emmenthaler and gruyere for a little richer flavor.
