Comment préparer Not Your Mama's Mac N Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, usually 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water before draining.
  3. While pasta cooks, heat milk in a microwave-safe bowl until hot (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. In a large bowl, combine shredded cheddar, gorgonzola, Gruyere (if using), and Parmesan (if using). Stir in cornstarch until cheese is lightly coated.
  5. Gradually whisk hot milk into the cheese mixture, a little at a time, until smooth and creamy. Return to microwave in 30-second intervals if needed to keep the cheese melted and sauce smooth. Stir constantly.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Spray a 13x9 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  8. Add cooked pasta to the prepared dish. Pour cheese sauce over pasta and gently stir to coat.
  9. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the mac and cheese.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
