Tips:

  • Use a large pot of salted water to cook the macaroni. This will help to ensure that the macaroni is cooked evenly and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Cook the macaroni until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help to prevent the macaroni from becoming mushy when it is combined with the cheese sauce.
  • Use a sharp knife to grate the Fontina cheese. This will help to ensure that the cheese melts smoothly and evenly.
  • Add the cheese to the macaroni in batches, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from clumping together.
  • If the cheese sauce is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream. If the cheese sauce is too thin, add a little bit more grated cheese.
  • Serve the macaroni and cheese immediately, garnished with additional grated Fontina cheese and freshly ground black pepper.
