Zubereitung von The Best Macaroni And Cheese

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook 1 pound elbow macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While pasta cooks, prepare the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly (this is your roux).
Gradually whisk in 3 cups chicken broth (made from 3 bouillon cubes and water), ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens slightly.
Reduce heat to low and stir in 2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half.
Add 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Butter a 13x9 inch baking dish.
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to coat evenly.
Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
