Steps

20 minutes

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the macaroni. Bring back up to a boil and cook according to package instructions. Drain once cooked. While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Use a silicone spatula to stir in the flour. Continue to stir for 1-2 minutes. Add the heavy cream/milk in splashes, stirring continuously. (If you add it too quickly you’ll “break” the roux and the sauce will be thin.)
2

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the seasonings and hot sauce. Reduce heat to low.
Gradually sprinkle in the shredded cheese.
3

Stir continuously until smooth and combined. Add the drained macaroni and stir to combine. Serve!
