Step 1

Shred all cheeses on the largest side of a box grater. Gently toss all cheeses together. Reserve a total of 4oz of the cheese mixture for the top.

Step 2

In a large skillet or pot, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Add in onions and garlic and cook until softened.

Step 3

Add in elbows and stir to coat.

Step 4

Pour in about 1/3 of the stock and cook over medium heat, stirring until most of the liquid is evaporated.

Step 5

Repeat this process until the pasta is al dente and there is a bit of liquid remaining in the pan. You want to maintain a simmer (not a full boil) through this process so that the pasta cooks gently and all the liquid doesn’t cook off without the pasta being able to absorb it and cook through. *

Step 6

Reduce heat to very low and stir in cheeses (saving the reserved bit for the top) 1/3 at a time, until fully melted. Turn off heat. Stir in spices.

Step 7

Stir in cream cheese until melted. Mix in cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Pour into a small greased baking dish and top with panko and the reserved cheese mixture.**

Step 9

Turn on broiler to high. Place mac and cheese under the broiler and broil until golden, about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it!

Step 10

Enjoy!
