Trader Joe's Copycat Diner Mac 'n Cheese

• 2 oz (1/4 cup) butter

I• 2 oz (about 1/3 cup) all-purpose flour

Ingredients

• 2 oz (1/4 cup) butter
• 2 oz (about 1/3 cup) all-purpose flour
• 4 oz good quality white Cheddar cheese, grated
• 3 oz good quality Havarti cheese, grated
• 2 oz sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 24 oz milk (3 cups) whole milk
• white pepper
• nutmeg
• 1 lb good quality elbow pasta (I like De Cecco)

Make the cheese sauce by melting the butter and then stir in the flour. Cook for a few minutes. Slowly add the milk so as not to create lumps, using a whisk the whole time. When it is fully incorporated, add the grated cheese, salt, white pepper and nutmeg to taste. Drain the pasta, add the cheese sauce and I like to top it with bread crumbs tossed with melted butter. Bake for about 20 minutes or until bubbly and bread crumbs are lightly browned.
