Ingredients

  • 12 oz elbow macaroni

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella or Gruyère

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

  • ½ cup breadcrumbs

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  • Cook the pasta. Bring the bella® 5-Quart Saucepan filled with salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • Make the cheese sauce. In the same bella® 5-Quart Saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in cheddar and mozzarella until melted. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  • Combine. Add cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until fully coated.

  • Transfer to fry pan. Preheat oven to broil. Lightly grease the bella® 10" Deep Fry Pan with Helper Handle, then transfer the mac & cheese mixture into the pan, spreading evenly.

  • Top and broil. In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the mac & cheese. Place the fry pan in the oven and broil for 2–4 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbling. Watch closely.

  • Serve. Carefully remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
