• porzioni: 4 servings
• tempo di preparazione: 10 minutes
• tempo totale: 20 minutes

Ingredienti

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 cups whole milk

2-1/2 cups chicken broth

2-1/2 cups uncooked elbows/macaroni

1/2 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese

1-1/2 cups freshly shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (see note 2)

Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Istruzioni

Whisk Flour

In a large, nonstick pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth, 1 minute. Add all seasonings, whisking constantly. Gradually add the milk, whisking until thick (1–2 minutes). Slowly add chicken broth, while constantly whisking. Bring to a boil.

Cook Pasta

Once boiling, add uncooked macaroni. Stir with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium-low, allowing a gentle bubble across top when not stirring. Stir often, scraping the bottom of the pot, 8–11 minutes, until pasta is just cooked (but still a bit firm) and sauce slightly thickens. If it looks too saucy, don’t worry—it will thicken with cheese. See note 3 for troubleshooting.

Add Cheese

Remove pot from heat. Sprinkle in one cheese at a time, stirring gently until fully melted before adding the next listed cheese. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Enjoy hot, optionally with a dash of hot sauce.

Note

So yummy but a lot of work
