- Cook Pasta: Start by boiling the corkscrew noodles in salted water according to the package directions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set aside while you preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make Cheese Sauce: In a large pan over medium heat, melt butter until bubbly. Sprinkle in the flour and half of the seasonings, stirring to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the evaporated milk, followed by the heavy cream, mixing until thickened. Stir in half of the shredded cheese until it's all smooth and gooey.
- Combine: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the creamy cheese sauce. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure every noodle is coated in cheesy goodness.
- Layer: Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter. Layer half of the pasta-cheese mixture in the dish, then sprinkle with half of the remaining cheese. Add the remaining pasta on top followed by the last of the cheese for a melty finish.
- Bake and Broil: Bake the dish in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until you see the cheese bubbling and melted. For an irresistible crispy crust, broil for an additional 2 minutes. Allow the mac and cheese to rest for 5-10 minutes before diving in!
