Time 55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 pound elbow macaroni
2 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
8-ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
1 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
1/2 cup prepared marinara sauce
1/2 cup jarred sun-dried tomatoes in oil, roughly chopped, plus 1/4 cup of the oil
3 ounces sliced pepperoni, halved
1 cup dry Italian bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the mac and cheese: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to package instructions for al dente; drain, reserving 1 3/4 cups of the pasta water.
