Bechamel Pasta Bake Macarona Bechamel

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cook the macaroni pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk to combine, forming a roux.

Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Add the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the sauce and continue to whisk until it thickens.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it's melted and combined with the sauce.

Add the cooked macaroni pasta to the sauce and stir to coat evenly.

Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta.

Bake the pasta in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden brown and bubbly.

Remove the pasta from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve and enjoy!

As with all pasta dishes, you can customize this recipe to suit your tastes. Feel free to add in some cooked chicken, ground beef, or sautéed veggies to make it a more substantial meal. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Fontina
