Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Elbow macaroni
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 pre-made crust Pizza dough
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the cooked macaroni to the sauce and mix well.
Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking tray. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round and place it on the pan.
Brush the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough.
Spread the macaroni and cheese mixture evenly on top of the mozzarella layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
Optional: Sprinkle red pepper flakes and chopped fresh parsley over the pizza for added flavor.
Slice and serve immediately while warm.
