Ingredients
- 8 ounces elbow macaroni or pasta of choice
- 4 ounces Boursin cheese garlic & herb flavor
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk whole or 2%
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika for garnish optional

Instructions
Cook the Pasta
- Boil macaroni in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside. Reserve a little pasta water for creamy texture if needed.
Melt the Butter
- In a skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic powder if using. Stir for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add Milk and Boursin
- Pour milk into the skillet. Add Boursin cheese. Stir constantly until cheese melts completely and forms a smooth sauce.
Add Cheddar Cheese
- Gradually stir in shredded cheddar. Keep stirring until fully melted and creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
- Add cooked pasta to the cheese sauce. Toss gently to coat evenly. Add a little reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick.
Garnish and Serve
- Transfer mac and cheese to a serving bowl. Sprinkle paprika and fresh parsley on top. Serve warm immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat milk for creamier texture
- Add extra cheddar for richer flavor
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and broil for a crunchy topping
- Use fresh herbs like parsley or chives for brightness
- Keep stirring cheese slowly to prevent clumps
