Como fazer World's Best Macaroni Cheese

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
While water heats, make the roux: Melt 1/4 cup (57g) butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until light golden and smooth.
Gradually whisk in 4 cups (950ml) milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 10 minutes).
Reduce heat to low. Stir in 2 cups (227g) shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup (113g) Gruyere cheese (or substitute with another hard cheese), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until melted and smooth.
Cook 1 pound (454g) penne pasta according to package directions until almost al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Return pasta to the pot. Add the cheese sauce and stir to combine. The mixture should be saucy.
Pour the macaroni and cheese into a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup (57g) extra grated cheddar cheese and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
