✨Recipe:
1 lb pasta of choice
2 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
1 ½ cup heavy cream

Directions (See cheese and spice blends below):
In a large sized bowl shred all the cheeses and coat with cornstarch.
Boil your noodles until slightly underdone and set aside.
In a large pan on medium low heat, melt the butter before whisking in the flour until combined.
Whisk in evaporated milk then heavy cream little bits at a time. If you pour it all at once it could break the sauce or curdle.
Small amounts at a time, whisk in half of your grated cheese.
Add your noodles into your bechamel sauce and combine well.
In a 9×13 baking dish, place half of the noodles/sauce, then half the remaining shredded cheese. Add the other half of the noodles/sauce and then the remaining cheese.
Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, then broil at 400°F for another 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 more minutes, then serve and enjoy!

Recipe:
Ingredients:
14oz (400g) macaroni
1 cup )115g) Cheddar cheese
3/4 cup (85g) Gruyere cheese
3/4 cup (85g) Mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons (30g) Flour
4 tablespoons (60g) Butter
4 cups (1L) Milk
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 360F (180C).
2. In a large bowl combine all the cheeses and set aside.
3. Heat large pot of salted water, cook the macaroni to al dente (1-2 minutes less then package instructions).
4. While the pasta is cooking make the sauce: In a large pot, melt the butter, add flour and whisk over medium-low heat. Cook for a couple of minutes, whisking constantly. Gradually add the milk and whisk until smooth. Cook until slightly thickens, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Gradually add 3/4 of the cheeses to the sauce and whisk until melted after each addition. Season with salt and pepper and mix. If you want to add more additions like bacon, herbs or spices, now it’s the time.
6. Drain the pasta and add to the sauce.
7. Transfer to a 12-inch (30cm) round baking dish, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 of the cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Notes:
* serve warm
* you can use any type of cheese that you like
* this is pretty basic version of mac & cheese but you can add topping like bacon, herbs and spices.
