  • Cook the macaroni pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  • In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk continuously to create a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.

  • Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens to a smooth consistency.

  • Reduce the heat to low and add shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan. Stir until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

  • Season the cheese sauce with salt and pepper to taste. For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of mustard or a dash of hot sauce if desired.

  • Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring to coat the pasta evenly.

  • Serve the Classic Mac and Cheese hot, garnished with additional grated cheddar and Parmesan if desired. Enjoy your creamy and comforting dish!
