Method
Cook Pasta
- Bring 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 Cheese Sauce
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens and bubbles.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar and Gruyère cheeses until melted and smooth. Add mustard powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Combine and Bake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the cheese sauce and mix well.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese and sprinkle over the top. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
