How to Make Italian Macaroni And Cheese
- Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- While macaroni is cooking, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until a roux forms.
- Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in cooked macaroni and half of the marinara sauce. Mix well to combine.
- Pour macaroni and cheese into a greased baking dish. Top with remaining marinara sauce. If using, lightly whisk the egg yolk with a tablespoon of milk or cream and drizzle over the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
