Instructions
- All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
- Preheat your oven to 390F.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic.
- In a saucepot, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the flour and stir with a whisk until it thickens into a paste.
- Slowly add the milk to the pot and whisk continuously to prevent clumping. Keep whisking until the milk also thickens.
- Add the onion powder, turmeric, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
- Next add the brie cheese and mozzarella. Stir until the brie is at mostly melted and everything forms a thick, goopy sauce.
- While the cheese is melting, fill a large pot with water and a pinch of salt before bringing it to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook for 5 minutes or so. The pasta should be just soft enough to pinch but not fully cooked.
- Drain the pasta and combine it with the cheese before transferring it to a large baking dish.
- Mix together the parmesan and panko, then sprinkle it on top of the pasta, trying to evenly coat the surface.
- Place in the oven and cook for around 24 minutes or until the panko looks golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
- Use a large serving spoon to scoop the mac and cheese and serve it with a sprig of parsley on top as garnish.
- Revel in your classy mac and cheese and enjoy!
