Ingredients:
- 1 pound cavatappi pasta
- (enough) water
- (enough) salt
- 1 pound mozzarella cheese
- 1 pound Colby Jack cheese
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- (to taste) salt
- (to taste) pepper
- (to taste) garlic powder
- (to taste) paprika
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Steps:
1
Boil water and salt it like the ocean. Add 1 pound cavatappi pasta and cook for 8 minutes if making immediately, or 7 minutes if making the day before.
2
Shred 1 pound mozzarella, 1 pound Colby Jack, and 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese. Do not use pre-shredded cheese to avoid grainy texture.
3
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to your liking. Start with a teaspoon if unsure and adjust by tasting the cheese sauce as you go.
4
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat, add half of the seasonings to bloom them for about 30 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons of flour to create a roux and cook for 2-3 minutes.
5
Gradually whisk in 1 can (12 ounces) of evaporated milk to avoid clumps, forming a bechamel.
6
Slowly stir in 2 cups heavy cream, continuing to stir until combined. Let cook for 2 minutes.
7
Turn heat to low and add half of the shredded cheese. Slowly incorporate and melt it completely.
8
Add the remaining cheese and reserved seasonings, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
9
Fold in the cooked pasta until completely incorporated into the cheese sauce.
10
Spread half of the mac and cheese into a baking dish, layer with half of the remaining cheese, then add the remaining mac and cheese and top with the remaining cheese.
11
Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until the top is bubbly and melted.
