Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Saucepan 
  • Whisk
  • Colander 
  • Measuring cups
  • Wooden spoon 

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz ELBOW MACARONI
  • 1 cup WHOLE MILK
  • 1/2 cup HEAVY CREAM
  • 1/2 cup AMERICAN CHEESE
  • 1 cup SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE
  • 2 tbsp UNSALTED BUTTER
  • 1/2 tsp SALT
  • 1/4 tsp BLACK PEPPER

Instructions
 

  • Boil water in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Cook elbow macaroni until tender. Drain noodles using a colander. Set the cooked pasta aside.
  • Place your saucepan on medium heat. Melt the butter completely in the pan. Do not let the butter burn. Keep the stove heat steady.
  • Pour whole milk into the melted butter. Add heavy cream to the pan now. Whisk the mixture until warm and smooth. Let it warm up slowly.
  • Reduce heat to low temperature. Add shredded cheddar and American cheese. Stir constantly with a whisk. Watch the cheese melt into cream.
  • Season sauce with salt and pepper. Taste and add more spice if needed. Stir well to combine all seasonings. Keep the flame low.
  • Fold cooked macaroni into warm cheese sauce. Mix well until noodles are coated. Serve hot in bowls immediately. Enjoy your meal!

Notes

  • Shred fresh cheese blocks because pre-shredded cheese does not melt as smoothly.
  • Do not overcook your pasta or it will become mushy in sauce.
  • Keep heat low when melting cheese to prevent the sauce from separating.
  • Use whole milk for the richest and creamy restaurant style flavor outcome.
  • Serve the dish immediately while the cheesy sauce is hot and smooth.
