Ingredients:
- 8 oz elbow macaroni or your choice in noodles
- 2 cups Lochmead Farms whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan for topping
Instructions:
-
Cook the pasta: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
-
Make the roux: In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Be sure to stir constantly to avoid burning.
-
Add the milk: Slowly pour in the Lochmead Farms whole milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
-
Make it cheesy: Stir in the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Keep stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
-
Combine pasta and sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir until fully coated. If desired, sprinkle some Parmesan on top for an extra layer of flavor. Pop your pasta into the oven for a nice crispy top.
-
Serve and enjoy: Serve your homemade mac n’ cheese warm and enjoy the rich, creamy goodness made with the goodness of Lochmead Farms milk!
