Tips for Making the Best Parmesan Mac and Cheese:

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-packaged grated cheese often contains additives that can affect the flavor and texture of your mac and cheese.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. Combining different types of cheese, such as cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan, creates a more complex and flavorful dish.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente. Overcooked macaroni will become mushy when baked in the cheese sauce.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to thicken the cheese sauce and prevent it from curdling.
  • Don't boil the cheese sauce. Bring the cheese sauce to a simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  • Season the mac and cheese to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste before baking.
  • Top the mac and cheese with breadcrumbs or Panko crumbs before baking. This will give the dish a crispy topping.
  • Bake the mac and cheese until it is bubbly and golden brown. This usually takes about 20 minutes in a 350°F oven.
