How to cook deliciously - Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
2. Stage
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shell pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes.
3. Stage
While the pasta is cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk, salt, and pepper, then bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until sauce is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Stage
Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Pour cheese sauce over top and mix until thoroughly combined. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
5. Stage
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.
