Ingredients

8 ounces elbow macaroni

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

2 cups whole milk

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Salt, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Boil a large pot of salted water and cook macaroni until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
Reduce heat to low. Add cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses. Stir until melted and smooth.
Mix in Dijon mustard, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Combine well.
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to coat thoroughly.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer mixture to a greased baking dish.
Sprinkle extra cheese on top and bake for 20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
