  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Cook pasta until just tender and set aside to drain.
  • If you are making your own breadcrumbs, toast the bread in the oven, chop when cooled and then add the butter.
  • For the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat and add flour, whisking constantly.
  • Cook about 3 minutes and then stir in the milk gradually followed by spices. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in 2 cups of cheese of your choice, salt/pepper and macaroni.
  • Pour into casserole dish.

  • Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top and bake for 30 minutes until crumbs are lightly browned.
