Ingredients

  • 1 pound uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 2 cups), divided
  • 3 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (about 3/4 cup), divided
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup panko (Italian-style breadcrumbs)
  • 1 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup sauteed mushrooms
  • 3 ounces sliced pepperoni
  • Optional Toppings: Fresh basil, crushed red pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare pasta according to package directions, adding 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt to boiling water. While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium. Whisk in flour; cook, whisking constantly for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk in pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. 2
    Add milk-flour mixture, Cheddar, 1 cup of the mozzarella, and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan to cooked pasta, and stir until well combined. Stir in eggs and panko. Evenly spread macaroni mixture in a 16-inch pizza pan lightly coated in cooking spray. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan over macaroni mixture. Bake in preheated oven until lightly golden around edges and on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
