Ingredients
  

  • 3 c. macaroni
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 2 c. milk
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp. all-purpose/plain flour
  • 2 c. mature cheddar shredded
  • 1/2 c. mozzarella shredded

Instructions
 

  • Fill a medium sized pot with water about three quarters full. Bring the water to a boil then pour in the macaroni. It should take around 7 minutes to fully cook in boiling water. Once boiled, strain through a colander. Rinse with cold water and place back into the pot. Very minimally pour olive oil over the top of the macaroni and stir. Set aside.
  • In a pan, place the butter and let it melt. Once melted sprinkle the garlic powder and flour onto the pan and stir. Stir until it starts to become a paste which is around 2 minutes.
  • Slowly begin to whisk in the milk constantly stirring. Let simmer for about 5 minutes until it starts to thicken. Make sure to stir the whole time to prevent the milk from burning.
  • Once the sauce has thickened pour the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese into the pan and melt on a low heat. Set aside some shredded cheese for topping the dish. It should take about 2 minutes for the cheese to melt.
  • Once the cheese has melted pour it over top of the macaroni noodles. Pour the macaroni and cheese into a nice serving bowl. Sprinkle some leftover grated cheese on top and top with sliced scallions. Serve and enjoy!
