First, make a simple, no-fuss roux. Melt butter, whisk in flour, and cook it until it smells like a fancy bakery. Then slowly pour in milk (or half-and-half if you’re feeling dangerous) and stir until it thickens into a silky sauce.

Now, dump in your shredded cheeses by the handful. Stir until it’s a molten river of happiness. Taste it. Add salt and pepper. Taste it again. If you’re not licking the spoon, you did it wrong.

Fold in your undercooked pasta, then pour the whole glorious mess into a greased baking dish. Now, here’s the make-ahead magic: cover it tightly with foil and shove it in the fridge. It can hang out there for up to two days.

The “Bake Later” Instructions

When you’re ready to eat, preheat your oven to 350°F. Take the dish out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes—cold glass and hot ovens don’t mix; they throw a temper tantrum and crack.

Bake it covered for 25 minutes, then uncover it, sprinkle on a crunchy topping of panko and melted butter (because crunch is life), and bake for another 10-15 minutes until it’s bubbly and golden. Pro tip: if you’re impatient, just eat it straight out of the fridge. I’ve done it. No judgment.
