Mac n Cheese
kosher salt
1 lb elbow macaroni
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 ounces Thai red curry paste
2 cups whole milk
2 cups cream (OR use 5c whole milk in place of milk and cream)
8 ounces grated monterey jack cheese
8 ounces grated cheddar cheese
Crumb Topping
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter

cracked black pepper

1
For the mac 'n' cheese: Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Salt generously, and then add the pasta and cook to box instructions, usually 6 to 7 minutes. Drain.
2
In another large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and continue whisking until it deepens in color and releases a light toasted aroma, about 1 minute.
3
Whisk in the Thai red curry paste, and when fully combined, pour in the milk and cream (or all milk, if using). Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, and then turn down to a simmer. Simmer until the mixture thickens, whisking occasionally, about 5 minutes.
4
Off heat, whisk in the cheeses and stir until melted. Add the pasta and toss to combine.
5
Turn your broiler on.
6
For the crumb topping: Toss the panko with the melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
7
To assemble: Pour the mac 'n' cheese into a broiler-safe casserole dish, sprinkle with the bread crumb mixture, and broil until browned, about 1 minute.
