Instructions
Step 1
Start by boiling the pasta in well salted water. Boil until al dente (1 minute before package time)
Step 2
Make the cheese sauce by starting with a roux. Melt the butter and add the flour. Mix until the flour smell dissipates and slowly add the milk continuing to stir. Once the “bechamel” is starting to thicken up, add the two shredded cheeses and stir until they’re fully melted. (Save about ¼ of the shredded cheese mixture for later) at this stage also add salt and pepper to taste
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C (375°F). In the pot you boiled the pasta in, add the cooked pasta and mix it thoroughly with the cheese sauce. Move it to a casserole dish, starting with half of the pasta, followed by some of the shredded cheese, followed by the rest of the pasta. Over the top, sprinkle whatever extra cheese you have left and the breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Cook for 20 minutes and broil for the last 2-3 minutes. Enjoy!
