Comment préparer 15 Minute Stove Top Macaroni N Cheese
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water (about 6 quarts) to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Add 1 pound of elbow macaroni and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Add the cheddar cheese and Gruyere (if using), stirring until completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and stir to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with extra cheese or black pepper, if desired.
