Mac & Cheese is so delicious

Why is mac & cheese so good? I love eating it and I love making it. I wanted to share with you my favorite recipe for mac & cheese!

2 tbls of unsalted butter plus 2 for the topping
2 tbls of flour
2 cups milk, preferably whole milk
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar (I use typically use a sharp Vermont cheddar)
1 cup shredded mild cheddar
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere
pinch nutmeg
1 lb Pipette style pasta (they resemble shells)
1 1/2 cups unseasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Get your water on for the Pipette. In another pan ( I like to use one with a wide bottom) melt your butter. Then add the flour to make a roux. Cook the starch out for about a minute and then pour in the milk. With a heat proof spatula stir the milk. When it begins to thicken (this will happen when the milk scalds) begin to add the cheese. Add it in stages and as it melts add more. Stir constantly as not to burn the sauce (keep burner on medium/low temp), add the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Cook the pasta a little less than al dente and strain it when it is cooked. In a baking dish mix the pasta and the sauce together, ensure all the pasta is coated well. Using the pan that you cooked the pasta in, melt the butter, add the breadcrumbs and the parmesan cheese to it. Cook for just 30 seconds. Sprinkle the top of the mac & cheese with the breadcrumb topping and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the top is crisp and the sauce is bubbling.
