Cheese Sauce:
- 2 cups whole milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ cup sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- ½ tsp mustard powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings:
- Breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Cook the Pasta: In a medium saucepan, combine macaroni and milk over medium heat. Simmer gently for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pasta is tender and most of the milk is absorbed. Do not drain.
- Make the Sauce: Reduce heat to low. Stir in butter, cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, and mustard powder (if using). Stir until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth.
- Add Sour Cream (Optional): Fold in sour cream for added richness and creaminess. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Optional Topping: For a crunchy top, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the mac and cheese and broil for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
