Instructions

Cook the Pasta

Step 1
Cook macaroni according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, drain, and set aside.

Blend the Beans

Step 2
In a blender or food processor, combine white beans and 1/2 cup of milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Make the Roux

Step 3
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly, until a smooth paste forms.

Add Liquids

Step 4
Slowly whisk in the soup, remaining milk, and the white bean mixture. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens.

Add Cheese and Seasoning

Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in shredded cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Step 6
Add cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. If needed, add reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Optional Topping

Step 7
If you want a crispy topping, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer mac and cheese to a greased baking dish. Combine breadcrumbs and olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle on top. Bake for 10–15 minutes, until golden.
