Instructions

1. Cook the shell noodles in salted water and set aside. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.

2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and whisk.

3. Add seasonings to the flour mixture and whisk until bubbly.

4. Gradually add milk in 1/2 cup increments, whisking until smooth each time.

5. After all the milk is added, maintain medium heat for 1-2 minutes.

6. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolk with some warm milk mixture until smooth. Add back to the milk base, whisk to incorporate. Heat for 1-2 minutes without boiling.

7. Add cheeses to the sauce and stir in reserved pasta water. Stir until cheeses are melted, keeping 1/2 cup cheese for topping.

8. Mix cooked noodles with cheese sauce until well coated.

9. For a crispy top, transfer macaroni and cheese to a baking dish, top with remaining cheese, and broil until golden and bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
