VIDEORECIPE The best homemade Macaroni and Cheese recipe

Grate the parmesan and cut the cheddar into strips.

Cook the pasta al dente in plenty of salted boiling water.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the mustard powder, dehydrated onion and paprika.

Add the flour and stir it all together, keeping the heat low, to form a roux sauce. Add the milk previously heated and stir until obtaining a creamy mixture without lumps.

Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg, mix everything and turn off the heat. Then add the previously cut and grated cheeses. Mix until creamy.

Drain the pasta al dente and pour it directly into the pot with the cream cheese, and mix well and adjust with more cheese. Enjoy!

For the baked version, boil the pasta until half cooked, then drain and add it to the cream cheese. Mix everything well, then butter a large baking dish and pour in the seasoned pasta. Sprinkle the surface with the remaining cheddar cheese and the grated Parmesan and bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 20 minutes. During the last 2 minutes of baking, put the grill mode so that you get a golden, crispy crust. Remove the pan from the oven and serve your macaroni and cheese piping hot. Enjoy!
