Ingredients
1 ounce butter
3/4 ounce flour
3/4 cup milk
1 1/4 pounds cheese, an equal mix of extra sharp white cheddar, Manchego, and Havarti
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds macaroni, cooked according to package directions
4 ounces grated Parmesan
2 ounces bread crumbs
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and then stir in flour; cook for 1 minute or until lightly golden. Slowly add the milk to the flour mixture, stirring until thickened, and then stir in the 3 cheeses until fully melted. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add cooked macaroni and stir to coat evenly. Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Bake for about 45 minutes, until brown and crisp on top.
- Remove from oven and preheat the broiler. Sprinkle Parmesan and bread crumbs over top. Return to the oven and broil until cheese is bubbly.
