2. Preheat the oven to 180°©.
3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for a min till the raw smell of the flour disappears.
4. Now add mustard paste along with cayenne, black pepper & nutmeg powder and give it a mix.

6. Now switch off the flame and stir in the grated cheddar & mozzarella cheese & stir completely melted.
7. Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined. Add a little pasta water & stir again.
8. Now, pour the mixture into a baking dish, grate the parmesan cheese on top, bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown crust.
10. Once done take out from the oven and keep it on a cooling rack. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Do you think pasta should be cooked 1-2 mins under before baking?

[@Chef_Amrita_Raichand]

Yes, do watch the video as I’ve categorically said that don’t over cook the pasta. It should be Al dente (still firm when you bite it) when you take it out of the water. When you add it to the sauce, again it’s barely cooked as the cheese is added after turning the flame off. And then it’s baked. Frankly baking is done more to get that crusty top and to intensify the flavours 😋❤

[@apaarmaheshwari8673]

​@@Chef_Amrita_RaichandObviously you did. I mean in terms of time. Even I like when it has a bite. But I don't know how that ideal bite should feel like😂. So should I cook pasta 2 mins under the cooking time mentioned on the pasta packet?
I cook pasta often, italian cuisine is by far my favourite. So I should know how to cook it properly I think😋🥹
