most people make mac and cheese wrong
here's how i make mine assuming im using the boxed variant as a base


do the usual, except when you put in the butter and milk, add:

>orange blossom honey
>aleppo pepper
>cracked black pepper
>pinch of himilayan salt
>touch of cinnamon
>paprika
>hemp seed

optional:
>cooked chicken pieces (i was still thawing so i couldnt add them this time)
>rose petals
>very, VERY small amount of garum/fish sauce

If starting from scratch I get strozzapreti pasta, dip them in an egg bath, and coat them with shaved parmesean before baking them at 250 degrees for a couple minutes. This will give each noodle a distinct crunch. I then get some american or aged swiss and melt it before adding the above to it and coating the encrusted pasta with the mixture
