A classic comfort dish of creamy mac and cheese that evokes heartwarming memories and brings joy to every gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups whole milk (or substitute with heavy cream for extra creaminess)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder (optional, for a hint of tang)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the macaroni by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the cheese sauce by melting 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in the same pot over medium heat. Pour in the milk (or cream) and stir gently until it’s heated through.
  3. Add the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and grated Parmesan gradually, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes a velvety and smooth cheese sauce. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and mustard powder.
  4. Combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce, stirring gently until every piece is thoroughly coated.
  5. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, serve hot, and enjoy the smiles as you offer this delightful dish!

Notes

For added texture, consider baking with a breadcrumb topping for a crunchy finish. This dish is versatile, allowing for various cheese swaps and vegetable mixes.
