Method
SIDES
Cook pasta
Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 7-9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Add milk and thicken
Slowly whisk in milk, continuing to cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-6 minutes.
Finish cheese sauce
Lower heat and whisk in shredded cheddar and Parmesan until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine pasta and sauce
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring to coat evenly.
Bake or serve
If using the topping, transfer mac and cheese to a baking dish, sprinkle with the seasoned breadcrumbs, and bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 8-10 minutes until golden on top. If not baking, simply serve warm.
