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 to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses until melted and smooth. Add mustard powder, salt, and pepper.
Combine and Bake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta and cheese sauce, mixing well.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, then sprinkle over the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
