- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
Boil elbow macaroni in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside. - Make the Cheese Sauce:
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux (this thickens the sauce).

- Add salt, pepper, and any optional spices to taste.
- Add the Cheeses:
- Lower the heat and add all five cheeses gradually.
- Stir until melted and creamy.
- Combine with Pasta:
- Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce. Mix well to coat evenly.
- Bake It:
- Pour the mac and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.

For a crispy topping, broil for an additional 2–3 minutes at the end — just keep an eye on it!
