Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that is popular in many countries. It is typically made with cooked elbow macaroni pasta and a creamy cheese sauce, often made with cheddar cheese or a combination of cheeses. The cheese sauce is usually made with butter, flour, milk, and cheese, and can be flavored with spices or mustard. Macaroni and cheese can be served as a main dish or a side dish, and can be customized with different types of cheese or add-ins, such as bacon, breadcrumbs, or vegetables.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces elbow macaroni

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 2 cups whole milk

• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, until the mixture turns light golden brown.

3. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, then slowly add the whole milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

4. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, whisking constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

5. Add the grated cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese to the saucepan, and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

6. Add the cooked macaroni to the saucepan and stir until the macaroni is coated with the cheese sauce.

7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve the macaroni and cheese hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs, if desired. Enjoy!
