Pasta Preparation
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cheese Sauce Preparation
Make the Roux
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Cheese and Seasonings
Reduce heat to low and stir in the smoked Gouda and cheddar cheese until melted. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well until smooth.
Combine and Bake
Combine Pasta and Cheese Sauce
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and mix until the pasta is fully coated.
Prepare Topping
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and olive oil until well combined.
Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumb topping evenly over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and crispy.
Serve
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Smoked Gouda Mac N Cheese!
