This mac and cheese will rival any restaurant and can easily be made gluten free. Perfect for serving to company or a splurge night.
Ingredients
-
8 ounces elbow macaroni or gluten free pasta of choice
-
½ cup butter, divided
-
6 tablespoons all-purpose unbleached flour or gluten free flour
-
1½ teaspoons Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend, divided
-
3 cups whole milk, warmed
-
1½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
-
1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella & provolone cheese blend
-
1¼ cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
-
1½ cups plain panko bread crumbs or gluten free panko bread crumbs
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain.
Meanwhile, in medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and 1 teaspoon Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend. Cook 1 minute, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in warmed milk until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and mixture comes to a boil.
Whisk in Cheddar cheese, mozzarella & provolone cheese blend and 1 cup Parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper as desired. Reduce heat to low and continue whisking until cheese is melted and smooth (no longer stringy). Remove from heat. Add pasta to cheese sauce; toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 2½-quart baking dish.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave remaining 2 tablespoons butter on HIGH 30-45 seconds. Stir in remaining ½ teaspoon Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend. Stir in bread crumbs and remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over pasta. Bake 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
