📋 Ingredients:

🍝 1 lb elbow macaroni or pasta of choice

🧈 1/4 cup unsalted butter

🌾 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

🥛 3 cups milk

🧄 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

🧂 Salt and pepper, to taste

🧀 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

🧀 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

🧀 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese

🧀 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

🌿 Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

📝 Directions:

1️⃣ Cook the Pasta: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the macaroni according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.

2️⃣ Make the Cheese Sauce: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

3️⃣ Add the Cheeses: Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the cheddar, mozzarella, Gruyère, and Parmesan until fully melted and smooth.

4️⃣ Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce, stirring until well coated.

5️⃣ Bake: Transfer the cheesy macaroni to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired, then bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

6️⃣ Serve: Let the macaroni cool for a few minutes, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
