1 lb of Macaroni (I recommend the Rummo or DeCecco brand, don't use Barilla!)

1 block of Monetary Jack Cheese (shredded)

1 block of Sharp Cheddar cheese (shredded)

1 block of salted butter

1 1/2 cups of Whole Milk

1 cup of Heavy Whipping Cream

1 tbsp of dried parsley flakes

1/2 cup of All Purpose Flour

Water

Kosher Salt

Smoked Paprika

Vegetable Oil Spray

Pasta:

1. Fill a pot of water and season the water aggressively with salt (almost as salty as the ocean, homies).
2. Boil one pound of macaroni on the recommended cooking time minus one minute on the package's directions to get the desired Al dente flavor.

Tip: Make sure you stir the pasta all the way until it's time to take it out of the pot and drain it!

Cheese:

1. Shred one block of Monterrey Jack cheese.
2. Shred one block of Sharp Cheddar cheese.
3. Mix the two cheeses together until it becomes a mixture.

Mornay Sauce:

1. Add one stick of butter to a pot on a medium high heat.
2. Once the butter is melted, add three 3/4 cups of AP flour.
3. Stir until it starts to become dense, and add three cups of whole milk and one cup of heavy whipping cream.
4. Once the sauce is hot and thickened, add in three cups of your cheese mixture, and stir until it's all thick and silky.
5. Season with kosher salt and smoked paprika.
6. Add the macaroni into the sauce and make sure the macaroni is all coated.

Assembling:

1. On a baking dish, grease it lightly with Vegetable Oil spray.
2. Add one layer of the macaroni before spreading out the remaining cheese.
3. After spreading the cheese, add the second layer of macaroni and before adding the cheese, add 2 1/2 tablespoons of dried parsley flakes to the cheese, and then spread the cheese out.
4. Pop it in a 375°F oven on regular bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until stunning, the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. If you want, use your broiler or a kitchen torch to make the top of your Mac and cheese crispy with brown spots for decoration.
6. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
7. Cut and serve.

Bon Appetite!
