Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb cavatappi pasta (or any shape you like)
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons butter, plus additional for buttering toast
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken stock

  • When the butter melts, add flour and cook about a minute.

This is the best macaroni and cheese recipe I've ever tried. It's so creamy and cheesy, and the crispy topping is the perfect finishing touch.

I made this recipe for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I will definitely be making it again.

This recipe was a disaster. The macaroni and cheese was dry and the cheese sauce was clumpy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big fan of macaroni and cheese, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the macaroni was cooked perfectly.

This recipe is a keeper! The macaroni and cheese is creamy, cheesy, and has a perfect crispy crust. I've made it several times now and it's always a hit with my family and friends.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually add a little bit of chopped bacon or ham to the cheese sauce, and sometimes I top it with a fried egg.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The macaroni and cheese was dry and the cheese sauce was too thick. I won't be making this again.

The macaroni and cheese was good, but not great. The cheese sauce was a little bland and the macaroni was overcooked.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. I used sharp cheddar and Gruyère cheeses, and added a little bit of cayenne pepper for a kick. My family loved it!

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to the cheese sauce.

I've never been a fan of macaroni and cheese, but this New York deli-style recipe changed my mind. The combination of sharp cheddar, Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses was perfect, and the addition of bread crumbs and paprika gave it a nice crispy topping.
