Ingredients
10 servings
- •1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
- •6 tablespoons butter
- •0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- •5.5 cups milk, divided
- •2.5 cups shredded smoked Gouda cheese
- •1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- •1.5 cups shredded Swiss cheese
- •1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- •0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- •0.5 cup dry bread crumbs
- •1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- •olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fill a pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a boil. Stir the macaroni into the water and return to a boil. Cook and occasionally stir until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continually for 1 to 2 minutes to make a roux. Whisk 2 cups of the milk into the roux until smooth and then add the remaining milk. Raise the heat to medium-high and continue cooking and stirring until thickened, but not boiling. Stir the Gouda, Cheddar, Swiss, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese into the mixture; once the cheeses have melted completely, fold the drained macaroni into the mixture to coat. Pour the macaroni mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Stir 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl; sprinkle over the macaroni. Drizzle the olive oil over the bread crumbs.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Allow to rest 10 minutes before cutting.
