How to Make Baked Mac N Cheese Sriracha
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add bread crumbs and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add macaroni and cook until slightly undercooked (7-8 minutes). Drain.
- While pasta cooks, melt remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Whisk in flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of milk until smooth.
- Add remaining milk and heavy cream. Stir in salt, dry mustard, pepper, nutmeg, and sriracha. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, whisking until melted and smooth.
- Stir in cooked macaroni until well coated.
- Pour macaroni and cheese mixture into prepared casserole dish.
- Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese.
- Sprinkle with reserved buttered bread crumbs.
- Bake uncovered for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
