Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta:
   • Cook the macaroni according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Make the cheese sauce:
   • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Once melted, whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly until it turns light golden brown (this helps cook out the raw flour taste).
   • Slowly add the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue to cook and whisk for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
   • Stir in the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
   • Add the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and smooth.
3. Combine pasta and sauce:
   • Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and stir to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
4. Optional crispy topping:
   • If you like a crunchy topping, transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top, and place it under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve:
   • Serve immediately while it’s creamy and hot!

Tips:

• Feel free to mix up the cheese—Gruyère, Gouda, or a little bit of blue cheese can add extra depth of flavor.
• For extra richness, you can stir in a couple of tablespoons of cream cheese or sour cream.
• To make it a complete meal, you can add cooked bacon, sautéed spinach, or roasted veggies to the mac and cheese.
