Macaroni and Cheese (Beginner Friendly)

Ingredients for cheese sauce:

1/2 cup unsalted butter (usually one stick)

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp turmeric

3 cups half and half (or substitute with milk for thinner cheese sauce)

8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese

8 ounces mozzarella cheese

Ingredients for Macaroni:

1 lb of elbow macaroni (usually one box)

water (to boil)

a little bit of oil

1 tbsp salt

Instructions for Macaroni:

Fill a pot half way (or ⅔ of the way) up with tap water and turn heat to HIGH

Add a tsp. of olive oil (to prevent pasta from sticking to each other), and add in salt to taste and bring the salt water to a boil

Once the salt water comes to a boil, add in the elbow macaroni and stir it around (stir the pasta every few minutes or so)

Cook macaroni to your preference (we cooked it for about 15-ish minutes until it became al-dente)

Once pasta is done cooking, drain the water in a strainer

Once all the water is removed from the macaroni, add macaroni into the cheese sauce once ready

Instructions for Cheese Sauce:

Shred 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese and 8 oz of sharp cheddar cheese

Place heat on medium

Add 1/2 cup of butter into a pan, let it melt completely

Then add in 1/2 cup of flour and whisk around for 2-5 minutes

For a thicker sauce, add in 3 cups of half and half | For a thinner sauce substitute the half and half for milk

Whisk until smooth and there are no clumps remaining

Then add in your spices and seasonings: 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp paprika, and 1 tsp turmeric

Whisk around and allow it to come to a slight bubble

Then add in your cheeses little by little

Once your cheese sauce is ready, add the macaroni into the cheese sauce and mix around

Enjoy!
