SERVES: 8
INGREDIENTS
100 g butter, plus more for baking dish
450 g macaroni
65 g flour
1 l whole milk
1 1/2 tsp. salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. mustard powder
300 g grated cheddar
200 g grated Gruyère
150 g grated Parmesan
125 g bread crumbs

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 190°C (170ºC fan). Butter a 23 x 33cm baking dish. In a large pot of salted, boiling water, cook macaroni until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Sprinkle over flour and cook until slightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in milk and whisk until combined. Season with mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Let simmer until starting to thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and whisk in cheddar, Gruyère, and 50g Parmesan. Continue whisking until melted and smooth. Stir in cooked macaroni and transfer to prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining Parmesan with bread crumbs and oil. Sprinkle mixture over macaroni, then season with more black pepper.
- Bake until bubbly and golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley before serving. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
