Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add elbow macaroni. Cook until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Gradually add in 3 cups of whole milk, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens and is smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
- Gently fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce until fully coated.
- Pour the pasta and cheese mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
- Cut ghost shapes from fresh mozzarella, then arrange on top of the casserole. Use sesame seeds or peppercorns for eyes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Spoon generous portions into bowls.
