Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese Recipe: How to Make It image

Total Time 35 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
8 ounces elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups grated sharp yellow Cheddar (about 4 ounces)
3 ounces sliced American cheese, diced (about 1/2 cup)
2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Melt the butter in the same pot over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, mustard powder and paprika; cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and slightly darker, about 1 minute.

  • Add the pasta to the sauce; toss, adding some reserved cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt.
