Instructions

1. 1

   Cook 320g macaroni in salted boiling water 1 minute less than package directions, then drain well.

2. 2

   Melt 60g butter in a pot, add 60g flour, and whisk over low heat for 1–2 minutes to make a roux.

3. 3

   Add 900ml milk in 3 additions, whisking smooth each time, then cook over medium heat until thickened.

4. 4

   Lower heat and melt in 250g cheddar, 100g mozzarella, plus salt, pepper, and a little mustard.

5. 5

   Add the cooked macaroni to the sauce and stir for 1–2 minutes so the starch binds with the sauce.

6. 6

   Transfer to a baking dish, top with 40g breadcrumbs mixed with 15g melted butter, and bake at 200°C for 12–15 minutes, or serve straight from the pot.
