Ingredients

  • 14 oz (400 g) macaroni
  • 1 cup (115 g) cheddar
  • 3/4 cup (85 g) Gruyère
  • 3/4 cup (85 g) mozzarella
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 360°F (180°C). Mix the cheeses and cook the pasta 1–2 minutes short of its package time.

  2. Melt butter, whisk in flour, and cook briefly. Gradually whisk in milk and simmer 5–6 minutes to thicken. Melt in three-quarters of the cheese and add seasonings.

  3. Combine with drained pasta in a 12-inch baking dish. Add the remaining cheese and bake 20–25 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
