Find the printable/downloadable recipe in my profile. The BEST Mac & Cheese: 1 lb cavatappi pasta 2 bricks of sharp Cheese, and 1 brick of mild cheddar 1 stick butter 1/2 cup flour 4 cups whole milk salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste *Cook the pasta according to the box, and drain. Add butter to a large pot and melt. Add flour and brown just a bit. Add milk and mix until there are no clumps. Add shredded cheese and mix until melted. Add spices, mix, and remove from heat. Add pasta to a 13×9 and pour cheese mix over top. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top, and bake on 350 until golden brown.
More than anything I need to know about those hotplates. Looks totally amazing though. And I'm in agreement on cavatappi as the ideal pasta shape for Mac and cheese! Well done.
I love to use cavatappi, also! Add a little nutmeg, it complements the cheese, and a half-teaspoon of salt-free cajun seasoning. It's not spicy, but it's so good!.
1. Add the milk slowly whilst stirring, no lumps. 2. Add pasta, one layer, then half the sauce, another layer of pasta, rest of sauce. Much easier mixing.

Your finger getting so close to the shedder gave me so much anxiety 😥 But that mac and cheese looks scrumptious 😋.

Looks really good
No nutmeg?
I'd love to stir your Mac and cheese
I highly recommend a whisk for the cheese sauce too. No lumps when combining the roux with the milk.
Then it’s not Mac and cheese 😂😂
I make my pasta from scratch. Can't beat it.
Recipe
I always add a little dry mustard to my mac n cheese. That looks really good. Nothing beats homemade!!
Put tomatoes on top
What’s so special?
Crushed Ritz cracker are nice on top too😁
I hate mac and cheese when it's baked and has those bread crumbs on top. Just throw the pasta into the pot of cheese, stir, and serve.
May I have an exact recipe pls
Add cheese on top to get that perfect ooey, gooey crusty, stretch.
Should’ve added the Mac to the bowl of cheese and then into the baking dish. It would’ve mixed a lot better.
Mustard or mustard powder help alot
Oh girl! Looks great. Try buttering your breadcrumbs 1st, then bake xx
I add one half secto of cream cheese…makes it rich and creamy…plus all sharp cheddar and I use heavy cream ..really creamy Mac n cheese…
Looks great, unfortunately it is a dish worth over $30.00. cheese is expensive!
