Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain the spaghetti and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until incorporated and smooth. Cook until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne and whisk to combine.
- Gradually add the half-and-half, whisking for 30-60 seconds between each addition until starting to thicken before adding more. Whisk in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth and no lumps remain. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pot.
- Reduce the heat to medium and whisk in 2 cups (200 g) cheddar, 1 cup (100 g) pepper Jack, and 1 cup (100 g) mozzarella until the cheese is melted. Remove the pot from the heat.
- Add the spaghetti to a 9 x 13-inch (13 x 22 cm) baking dish and pour the cheese sauce on top. Stir well to coat the noodles with the sauce.
- In a medium bowl, toss together the remaining 2 cups (200 g) cheddar, 1 cup (100 g) pepper Jack, and 1 cup (100 g) mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle evenly over the top of the spaghetti.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add 1/2-1 tbls. of the salt and the pasta. Cook until al dente, 5-7 minutes(until it still has a little bite to it-not too soft). Drain.
- In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium hight heat. Add the pasta and 3 tbls. grated cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss.
- Top with remaining cheeses and serve hot. Enjoy! Opa!
Tips:
- Use the right noodles. Macaroni and cheese noodles should be a short, sturdy pasta that will hold its shape when cooked. Elbow macaroni, shells, and penne are all good choices.
- Cook the noodles al dente. Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will prevent the noodles from becoming mushy when you add the cheese sauce.
- Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken sauces. For mac and cheese, a roux will help to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is the star of mac and cheese, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Sharp cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Add some extras. Mac and cheese is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add some cooked bacon, diced ham, or chopped vegetables to make it a more hearty meal.
Conclusion:
Mac and cheese is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious mac and cheese that will be the hit of your next party or potluck.
