20-MINUTE MAC 'N CHEESE
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the macaroni and about 1 tablespoon salt and cook according to package directions, usually 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a colander and drain well.
- While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a 4-quart pot over medium heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon, stirring and cooking until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Whisk in about 1/2 cup of the milk, whisking until no lumps remain. Then whisk in the rest of the milk until the sauce is smooth. Bring to a simmer and whisk constantly until the sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the Cheddar, Gruyere and Parmigiano-Reggiano with a wooden spoon. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the pepper and nutmeg and season to taste with salt. Remove from the heat.
- Transfer the drained pasta to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the pasta and stir until well combined. Serve warm.
