Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound dry elbow macaroni
Coarse salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
2 1/3 cups finely shredded Cheddar
1/2 cup finely shredded Gruyere
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Pinch white pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the macaroni and about 1 tablespoon salt and cook according to package directions, usually 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a colander and drain well.
  • While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a 4-quart pot over medium heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon, stirring and cooking until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Whisk in about 1/2 cup of the milk, whisking until no lumps remain. Then whisk in the rest of the milk until the sauce is smooth. Bring to a simmer and whisk constantly until the sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the Cheddar, Gruyere and Parmigiano-Reggiano with a wooden spoon. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the pepper and nutmeg and season to taste with salt. Remove from the heat.
  • Transfer the drained pasta to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the pasta and stir until well combined. Serve warm.
