Ultimate Creamy Homemade Mac & Cheese Recipe

    The best, hands down. I followed the recipe to the letter except for the cheese. As others, used what I had on had which included grated cheddar, grated swiss, grated mozzarella and about 2-3 tablespoons canned parmesan. Used 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes and 1 tsp. Red Hot pepper sauce. Very much cooked the mac al denta. (oh I did use some left-over heavy whipping cream--about 2/3, regular milk and enough evaporated milk to make 3 cups. My husband raved and he is NOT a Mac and Cheese fan. (He is now.)

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Preheat Oven to 350; F. Set a Large Pot of Water on High Heat.

    2
    Done

    Meanwhile, Begin the Sauce by Making a Roux: in a Medium Saucepan Melt the Butter Over Medium Heat. Whisk in the Flour. Continue to Stir This Roux Over Medium Heat For Two to Three Minutes.

    3
    Done

    the Roux Should Be Cooked and Free of the Flour Flavor but Still Light in Color.

    4
    Done

    Gradually Add Milk, Whisking Briskly to Maintain a Smooth Sauce.

    5
    Done

    Cook the Sauce For About 10 Minutes, Stirring Occasionally to Avoid Scorching.

    6
    Done

    When Sauce Thickens, Add Cheeses, Salt and Spices to the Sauce, and Stir Until All the Cheese Has Melted. I Make My Sauces in the Microwave; Turns Out Great and Never Scorches.

    7
    Done

    Somewhere During This Sauce-Cooking Process, Your Pasta Water Has Started Boiling. the Original Is Made With Penne Noodles. Add a Generous Amount of Salt to the Water and Cook the Pasta Until Almost but not Quite Al Dente (two Minutes Before the Package Directions Indicate). You Want Barely Undercooked Pasta So That It Can Finish in the Oven Later. Halt the Cooking by Draining the Pasta and Rinsing With Cold Water. Return Pasta to Pot.

    8
    Done

    Pour Sauce Over Pasta and Stir Until Completely Incorporated. the Combination Should Be Fairly Saucy, Almost Soupy.

    9
    Done

    Dish the Mixture Into a Buttered 9-13 Pan and Sprinkle With Extra Grated Cheeses and Cayenne. Bake, Uncovered, For 30 Minutes, Until You Have Beautiful, Browned Edges. Those Edges Will Be a Welcome and Flavorful Addition to Each Serving.

    10
    Done

    Let the Dish Sit For 5 to 10 Minutes Before Serving. I Divided This in 2 Containers and Froze One.
