Ingredients:
1 pound (450 grams) elbow macaroni
4 cups (about 1 liter) milk
1/4 cup (55 grams) unsalted butter
1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
2 cups (200 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup (100 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup (120 mL) buffalo sauce (adjust to your seasoning preference)
Test for salt and pepper
1/2 cup (60 grams) crumbled blue cheese (optional, for topping)
chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted,
whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the roux is golden brown and fragrant.
Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly so that no lumps form. Continue cooking and whisking until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat and slowly stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth.
Stir in buffalo sauce until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until the macaroni is evenly coated.
If desired, transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish. Sprinkle the top with slices of blue cheese for extra flavor.
Broil the mac and cheese in the oven for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for color and freshness.
Serve your creamy buffalo mac and cheese warm, and enjoy the spicy, cheesy goodness!
