V PIZZA MAC N CHEESE COPYCAT

We tried the mac n cheese at V Pizza recently and it was amazing so I tried my own version at home and we all loved it! *I didn't have pesto on hand so I added 1 tablespoon minced garlic

16 oz pasta - elbow noodles or rotini
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
8 oz shredded sharp cheddar + 4 oz for topping
8 oz shredded smoked gouda + 4 oz for topping
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 tablespoon pesto or minced garlic
4 oz parmesan cheese for topping

Boil pasta for 10 minutes.  While pasta is cooking melt butter in a saucepan.  Whisk flour into butter and cook for about a minute or two.  Add in cheese, cream and seasonings and cook until fully melted.  Combine pasta and cheese sauce in a 9x13 casserole dish.
Combine cheddar, gouda and parmesan cheese and sprinkle evenly over top and broil until bubbly and browned.
